On the late morning of November 23, 2022, 19-year-old Andrea Perks was found with multiple gunshot wounds in an alley in the Parkland neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Emergency crews located her in the 700 block of Hazel Street and rushed her to the University of Louisville Hospital, where she died shortly after arrival. Her death was ruled a homicide.

Andrea is remembered by family as a loving mother and sister; she left behind a young daughter. Her father, Antonio Perks Sr., became a vocal advocate for answers, and the family held public gatherings and released balloons to keep attention on the investigation while months passed without a suspect.

An indictment was announced in July 2023 charging 25-year-old De’Ondre Wicks with murder, along with counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun and tampering with physical evidence; Wicks was in custody on unrelated charges when served. Does anyone who knew Andrea or was in Parkland that day have information that could help the investigation?
