On May 14, 2022, gunfire struck a vehicle near Hikes Lane and Taylorsville Road in Louisville, Kentucky, during what was the driver’s eighteenth birthday. Eighteen-year-old Kahlil Laghmani and a companion were both shot after another vehicle pulled alongside and an occupant opened fire. Emergency crews transported both victims to the University of Louisville Hospital; Laghmani died shortly after arrival.

The companion, 20-year-old Mahamed Abdi, was critically wounded in the same attack and later died on May 17, 2022. The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit opened an investigation into the double shooting and worked to identify the person responsible for firing from the other vehicle.

Does anyone have information about those events or knew Kahlil or Mahamed and can help fill in what happened that day?
