Jesse Patrick Reynolds was 29 when he was fatally shot outside a home on Wampum Avenue in the Beechmont neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, on the evening of September 11, 2022. Known locally as a generous, outgoing artist and tattooist who enjoyed biking, skateboarding and collecting coins, he also worked for years at the Baxter Avenue Morgue haunted house with his brothers.

According to witnesses, Reynolds was shot multiple times about 8:00 PM and then struck in the head with the weapon. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery but did not survive. Police found 51-year-old Laron Spalding hiding in nearby bushes; he was arrested and charged with murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun. Spalding pleaded not guilty and bond was set at $750,000. The motive has not been established and no prior conflict between the two has been reported.

If anyone knew Jesse, his routines, or saw activity on Wampum Avenue that night, can you share what you know?
