Braxton Donavon Tucker, 18, died of gunshot wounds on October 4, 2023, after being transported to the University of Louisville Hospital. The shooting occurred in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood.

Police say surveillance footage shows a car carrying two 19-year-olds, Micah Mattison and LaZario Carr (spelled La'Zario in some reports), pursuing the vehicle in which Tucker was a passenger. Investigators allege both occupants of the pursuing car fired into the other vehicle, and an arrest report states fatal shots were fired into the trunk. Mattison later admitted involvement, and both were arrested and charged with murder within a week of the shooting.

What can readers who were in the Portland neighborhood that day add to the timeline or the events leading up to Tucker’s death?
