A domestic dispute in New Albany, Indiana, on the morning of October 21, 2024, ended with 30-year-old Johntae Trumbo found in the front yard of a West 8th Street residence with multiple gunshot wounds. Trumbo, a Black male, was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital and died of his injuries.

A 17-year-old, Braylon Livers, remained at the scene and was taken into custody. Livers told investigators he shot Trumbo in self-defense, saying Trumbo had assaulted him and his mother, who was Trumbo’s girlfriend, and that he believed Trumbo was reaching for a gun. No weapon was found on Trumbo. Investigators say Livers discarded two of his own firearms over a fence and he was initially charged with possession of a handgun by a serious violent felon, obstruction of justice, and false informing. The Floyd County Prosecutor charged Livers as an adult and the case is set to proceed through the adult court system.

Does anyone have information about Trumbo, the residence on West 8th Street, or witnesses to that October morning?
