Mitchell Eddings, 69, was shot and killed outside his home in the Parkland neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, in the early morning hours of January 6, 2023. Eddings had been returning from a shift as a security officer at Caesars Southern Indiana Casino when rapid gunfire rang out in the 1000 block of South 26th Street around 1 a.m. Neighbors reported the shots; Louisville Metro Police found him with multiple gunshot wounds and emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Described by family as the heartbeat of his household — a father, brother, uncle, grandfather, handyman, grill-master and mechanic who would help anyone — his death shocked relatives who said he had no known enemies. The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit opened an investigation, and as of one year after the shooting the case remained active with no suspects publicly identified or arrested.

If anyone who lived in or near Parkland that night saw something or has information that might help identify who shot Mitchell Eddings, please come forward to investigators.
