On the evening of June 30, 2022, police responded to a call at the Oxmoor Apartments Complex on Steeplecrest Circle in the St. Matthews area of Louisville and found two men shot to death. Forty-year-old Steven Curtis and 21-year-old Gary Brown Jr. were pronounced dead at the scene in the early morning hours of July 1. Neighbors described the normally peaceful community as shaken by the double homicide.

The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit treated the case as a priority and worked the investigation for more than a year, using DNA evidence, digital information, and surveillance footage to reconstruct events from that night. In July 2023 investigators announced they had identified and taken a suspect into custody; the person charged was an adult at arrest but had been a juvenile when the killings occurred, so the name was not released.

Anyone who lived at Oxmoor Apartments or was in the St. Matthews area that night and saw anything that hasn’t been reported is asked to come forward with information.
