On a Saturday afternoon in the Russell neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, 26-year-old Edward Lamont Smith was fatally shot on September 10, 2022. Officers found Smith in the 400 block of 26th Street near Cedar Street shortly before 2:45 p.m. A separate call one block away led police to 24-year-old Alexis McCrary, who had been shot and killed inside a vehicle on the 2500 block of Cedar Street. Investigators determined the two shootings were related and that Smith and McCrary were in a relationship.

Surveillance footage from the area identified a suspect vehicle; police located it days later and arrested 31-year-old Maurice Gibson, who admitted to driving the murder suspect away and was charged with two counts of complicity to murder. Weeks after the killings, 31-year-old Paul Wade was arrested after video reportedly captured one of the shootings. He was charged with two counts of murder and being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, pleaded not guilty, and had bond set at one million dollars. During a court hearing Wade allegedly taunted the victims’ families, prompting a brawl and several disorderly conduct and assault arrests.

Does anyone have information about Smith, McCrary, the events of that afternoon, or relevant surveillance in the Russell neighborhood?
