A double shooting in Old Louisville left two men dead on the evening of December 5, 2022. Twenty-four-year-old Jimy Mejias and 28-year-old Kenneth Sauer Jr. were in the parking lot of the Arthur Street Hotel when both were shot. Louisville Metro Police arrived about 7:15 p.m. and found both men with gunshot wounds; Sauer was pronounced dead at the scene and Mejias was taken to University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say neither man was a registered guest at the hotel and that surveillance footage showed suspects moving Sauer’s body and searching his vehicle, suggesting a robbery motive. The victims’ families, including children left without fathers, publicly asked for information to help the investigation.

For months the case remained active; in May 2023 police announced an arrest and charges in connection with the double homicide. Does anyone who knew Jimy or Kenneth have information that could help complete the timeline that night?
