On the morning of March 2, 2022, 18-year-old Wilson Mugisha was found in a parking lot at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park off Freys Hill Road in Louisville, Kentucky. Officers from Louisville Metro Police responded about 7:10 a.m. to a report of a person down; the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later confirmed Mugisha died at the scene of a gunshot wound. Initial days of the investigation produced no publicly named suspects, and police asked the public for any information that could help identify who was responsible.

On April 15, 2022, police announced the arrest of a 16-year-old taken into custody on Blossom Lane and charged in Mugisha’s death. The juvenile was also charged in the March 20 shooting death of 17-year-old James Shickert and faced charges including murder, first-degree robbery, and possession of a handgun by a minor; the teen’s name was not released because of his age.

If anyone has information about Wilson Mugisha, his movements that morning, or the area around E.P. Tom Sawyer Park, please come forward to assist the investigation.
