Nicholas L. Clay, 42, was shot and killed on the morning of March 1, 2022, on the doorstep of his home in the Shelby Park neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Police say the attack happened as he was returning from work as a contract UPS driver; his wife watched the ambush on their home security camera. Officers responded to Clay Street near Camp Street just before 10 a.m.; he was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a hospital, and pronounced dead at about 10:30 a.m. A neighbor said they heard an argument, a single pop, a yell, and then several more shots.

Known as Nick, Clay was a married father and a former college basketball player who helped children in his neighborhood. Investigators believe the shooting was an attempted robbery. Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit released images of two men identified as persons of interest and asked the public for help, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone in Shelby Park that morning saw activity near Clay Street or recognizes the men released as persons of interest, please come forward with information.
