Christopher Fuentes was 21 when he was found with a gunshot wound in the 6700 block of Strawberry Lane in Louisville’s Southland Park neighborhood on the evening of June 24, 2023. He was taken to University of Louisville Hospital in serious condition and died shortly after arrival. He worked at a McDonald’s on Third Street Road and is remembered by his family as a bright and loving son.

The investigation led to two juveniles being taken into custody. A 13-year-old girl turned herself in and was charged with reckless homicide. A 15-year-old boy was arrested and charged with tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a minor. Further identifying details about the juveniles have not been disclosed because of their ages.

A celebration of Christopher’s life was held on June 29, 2023, attended by his parents, William Fuentes and Yuliana Munoz, and his siblings. Does anyone in the Southland Park area have information about what happened that evening?
