An 18-year-old man, Abdi Noor, was found fatally shot in an alley in Louisville’s Taylor Berry neighborhood on the afternoon of May 14, 2022. Officers responding to a ShotSpotter alert in the 900 block of Euclid Avenue discovered Noor deceased around 12:45 p.m.; the Jefferson County Coroner later determined he died from at least one gunshot wound.

At first investigators had not identified suspects and asked the public for tips. Police said they were also examining whether the homicide was connected to a rollover crash that happened around the same time in the 1000 block of Winkler Avenue. The inquiry into Noor’s death continued over the summer.

A major development came on September 20, 2022, when Edgar Cruz Hernandez was arrested in connection with Noor’s killing and the death of another person. Anyone with information about Noor, the crash near Winkler Avenue, or either incident is asked to contact Louisville Metro Police.
