Landon Isaac Knox was a 17-year-old White male from Hodgenville, Kentucky, remembered by friends and family as funny, kind, and selfless. A student at LaRue County High School who worked at Pizza Hut, he was described as energetic and compassionate and enjoyed spending time with loved ones.

In the early morning hours of Saturday, December 3, 2022, a verbal confrontation at a residence on East Forest Avenue in Hodgenville between Landon and 15-year-old Cody Love escalated. Just before 5:00 a.m., Love shot Landon. Landon was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital, where he died; the coroner ruled the death a homicide. The Hodgenville Police Department and Kentucky State Police investigated and arrested Love, who was lodged at the Adair County Juvenile Detention Center. A LaRue County Grand Jury later indicted him on murder, tampering with physical evidence, and possession of a handgun by a minor, and he was bound over for adult prosecution.

Did anyone in the Hodgenville area see or hear anything that night or know more about Landon’s movements before the shooting?
