A dispute in the early hours of July 10, 2024, in a parking lot on West Chestnut Street in Louisville’s Russell neighborhood ended with 60-year-old Thaddeus Eugene Miller shot in the head and killed. The confrontation, reported around 3:17 a.m. at South 26th and West Chestnut streets, began when a fight erupted between Miller and 31-year-old Alonzo Thomas after Thomas believed Miller had taken a gun from Thomas’s girlfriend, who had been trying to keep the weapon away from him.

Surveillance video captured the incident and was used by investigators to identify Thomas by matching visible tattoos to a known photograph. Thomas was arrested and charged with murder; he pleaded not guilty and was held on a $250,000 bond.

If anyone witnessed the events that night or has information about Miller’s movements leading up to the shooting, please share what you know.
