Airrice Clayton, 34, was found dead inside an apartment at The Pointe at Stoneybrook in Jeffersontown, just outside Louisville, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. Officers responding to a noon call discovered the apartment door slightly ajar and found Clayton seated in a chair with multiple gunshot wounds; the Jefferson County coroner pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say they do not believe the killing was random and that Clayton and the person responsible likely knew one another. The suspect remained at large, though police reported having some good leads and said they did not believe there was a broader threat to the public. Authorities asked anyone with information or surveillance footage from the Arbor Pointe Drive area to come forward to assist the homicide inquiry.

Family members remembered Clayton as a devoted father of two and a creative artist who drew portraits for families, designed his own tattoos with hopes of becoming a professional tattoo artist, and wrote poetry and rap. Those who knew him described him as charismatic and friendly. Can anyone with information about Clayton, his movements on October 22, or nearby footage please contact Jeffersontown police?
