On the evening of June 28, 2025, a shooting on the 2700 block of West Madison Street in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood left two women wounded. Police found both victims about 9:30 p.m. and took them to University of Louisville Hospital for treatment. One of those women, recorded in police records as Susie Coleman, died of her injuries; she was known in the community and remembered in tributes as Susie Offutt. Her death was confirmed on July 1 and the case was reclassified from a double shooting to a homicide investigation.

Detectives processed the scene, canvassed for witnesses and collected evidence, but as of the latest reported information no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation remains open and unanswered questions persist about what led to the shooting in Russell.

If anyone has information about that night or knew Susie Offutt, please come forward to assist the investigation.
