Dunia Tuhenya, 17, was shot and killed on the evening of July 15, 2025, in the Newburg neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. He was found in the 300 block of Poplar Level Court at about 5:40 p.m. with a gunshot wound to his torso and was taken to UofL Hospital, where he later died. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity.

Dunia, known to friends as Duni, lived with his family at Chateau Village Apartments after they immigrated from Tanzania in 2017. He was preparing to enter his senior year at Moore High School and served as captain of the soccer team. He was active in volunteering and mentoring through See Forward Ministries and had been at soccer practice the morning of his death.

Ten days after the shooting, Louisville Metro Police charged a 15-year-old male with murder, possession of a handgun by a minor, tampering with physical evidence, and resisting arrest; the juvenile’s name has not been released. Community members organized a GoFundMe to help Dunia’s family with funeral expenses and to relocate from the apartment complex.

If anyone knew Dunia, his routines, or saw activity around Poplar Level Court on July 15, what can you share to help the investigation?
