On the evening of November 5, 2025, gunfire in a home in the 7800 block of Manslick Road in south Louisville left 76-year-old Richard Kevin Jenkins fatally wounded. Officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department arrived about 7:45 p.m. and found Jenkins with multiple gunshot wounds. EMS and the Fairdale Fire Department also provided aid, but Jenkins was pronounced dead at the scene.

The case was investigated as a homicide by the Louisville Metro Police Homicide Unit. Within a day a suspect was arrested: 50-year-old Justin Hayes was charged with murder. The arrest citation characterizes the shooting as resulting from a domestic violence incident and notes Hayes contacted relatives after the shooting and alluded to his involvement. At arraignment, a judge set bond at $250,000.
