Antwawn Shackelford was 39 when he was fatally shot on November 11, 2023, while working as a security guard at the Dosker Manor apartments in Louisville, Kentucky. The shooting followed a dispute over a kayak that family members say Shackelford took after it had been left in a hallway near an elevator; at Dosker Manor, that was reportedly an unwritten practice. After an initial argument he left for a store and returned, and the argument restarted and escalated to gunfire.

Louisville Metro Police said everyone involved was accounted for and a suspect was reportedly in custody, though no name was released. By December 2023 the case had been sent to the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office for review and Shackelford’s family remained upset that formal charges had not yet been filed. He is remembered as a loving father of five.
