Andrew Cochran, 45, was shot just before midnight on October 25, 2025, during an incident behind Club Cedar in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood. Patrons who had been gathered under tents in the club’s rear scrambled when shots rang out; Cochran was found in the parking lot with a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to UofL Hospital in critical condition and died the following morning, the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later confirming his identity.

A witness who was only feet away at the time said she did not see who fired the shot. In response to the fatal shooting, Louisville Metro Alcoholic Beverage Control issued an emergency suspension of Club Cedar’s license, noting the establishment had a prior fatal shooting the previous November. Louisville Metro Police are investigating; no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who was at Club Cedar that night or who has information about the shooting is asked to contact the LMPD Crime Tip Line.
