Fred O’Bannon Jr. was 37 and a father of five when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 19, 2021, while sitting in his truck at a construction site on Interstate 264 at the Dixie Highway exit in Louisville, Kentucky. He was working an overnight shift for Louisville Paving and Construction. Authorities say the incident began as an attempted carjacking and also left an off-duty Louisville Metro Police officer, Sergeant Chris Lane, wounded by gunfire; Lane, who was working at the site, was shot in the face but survived.

The man accused of the shootings, Keyshaun Stewart, fled on foot after the attacks and was pursued, shot and apprehended by the wounded officer. O’Bannon’s family described him as a loving and supportive presence. Was anyone working that shift with Fred or who lived nearby aware of suspicious activity before the shooting?
