Gary Charles Edwards Jr., 21, was found dead from gunshot wounds in the 800 block of Denmark Street in Louisville’s Wyandotte neighborhood in the early morning of December 15, 2022. Officers discovered him about 1:30 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The circumstances of the shooting were initially unclear and police had no immediate suspect.

The Louisville Metro Police Department’s homicide unit investigated and appealed to the public for information. In July 2023 the department announced the arrest of a juvenile charged with murder and first-degree robbery in connection with Edwards’s death, a major development in the case.

Anyone who knew Gary or who has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward.
