On November 24, 2024, 41-year-old Yuri Valcarcel-Herrera was fatally shot inside his home on West Hebron Lane in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. The shooting occurred about 11:15 a.m. during a dispute reportedly over the title to a 2008 Pontiac that Valcarcel-Herrera had sold earlier in the year for $5,000.

Two men from Louisville, identified as 20-year-old Fulton J. Mucker Jr. and 24-year-old Benjamin A. Williams, arrived at the house and an argument escalated into gunfire. Multiple shots were fired; Valcarcel-Herrera, who was unarmed, was struck in the chest and taken to University of Louisville Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after noon. His brother and sister-in-law were also in the home and were fired upon, and his brother returned fire in self-defense but did not hit the suspects. Shots penetrated several interior walls, putting other family members at risk.

Mucker and Williams fled but were arrested the next day in Louisville with help from the Fugitive Unit. They face charges including murder, attempted murder, first-degree wanton endangerment, tampering with physical evidence and fleeing or evading police, and are being held on $1 million bond.

If anyone has information about the dispute over the vehicle or the events at the West Hebron Lane residence, please share what is known.
