Jimmie L. Robertson, a 64-year-old Black man, was found dead inside a home on the 700 block of Dearborn Avenue in the Chickasaw neighborhood of Louisville on Saturday, April 25, 2026. Police were called about 2:30 p.m. with a report of a deceased person; officers located Robertson at 729 Dearborn Avenue and the investigation was classified as a homicide.

Investigators say Robertson suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was pronounced dead after medical personnel responded. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified him and listed the gunshot wound as the cause of death. Early reports note the body was reported from inside a residence rather than being discovered in a public street, leaving key questions about when the shooting occurred, who was with him, and why he was targeted.

No arrests or suspect names have been released and no motive has been publicly described. Anyone with information is asked to contact Louisville Metro Police anonymously or submit a tip through the department’s online portal.
