Yhantzee M. Taylor, 45, was shot and killed on the afternoon of Sunday, May 3, 2026, in Pleasure Ridge Park. Police say the events began in the 6300 block of Player Drive during an altercation with his neighbor, 54-year-old Anthony Williams; Taylor had reportedly filmed Williams yelling shortly before the confrontation. Taylor was found with a gunshot wound inside his car after it crashed at Terry Road and Paradise Lane, about a block from the scene. Officers arrived around 3:30 p.m. and Taylor was pronounced dead at the scene.

A witness identified Williams as the shooter, and police say he fled and a weapon was not recovered. Louisville Metro Police arrested Williams the next day and charged him with murder and tampering with physical evidence; he also had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear on a separate wanton endangerment charge. The case is in the early stages of the legal process.

Taylor’s family and neighbors remember him as a devoted husband and father, a doting grandfather, a fitness enthusiast and old-school car lover who helped others in the South End community. Does anyone in Pleasure Ridge Park have information about the confrontation on Player Drive or what happened after the shooting?
