On the evening of May 1, 2026, 74-year-old real estate broker Wade Ramey was found in the Parkland neighborhood of Louisville with multiple gunshot wounds. Louisville Metro Police responded to a report of a shooting at about 5:40 p.m. in the 3200 block of West Kentucky Street; the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office pronounced Ramey dead at the scene. His obituary initially described only that he had passed away and that the family chose cremation and a later Celebration of Life.

LMPD’s Homicide Unit handled the investigation and for several weeks had made no public arrests or identified suspects while urging anyone with information to use the department’s anonymous tip line. Three weeks after the shooting, 47-year-old Match Gudger was arrested and charged with Ramey’s murder; Gudger was already in custody on unrelated charges and also faces a count of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. The investigation remains ongoing as the case moves through the legal system.

Does anyone in Louisville have information about Wade Ramey, his movements on May 1, or the Parkland area that evening?
