A late-night gathering outside a Preston Highway restaurant in Louisville turned deadly on September 16, 2021, when 20-year-old Ulices Guadarrama was shot and killed. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed Guadarrama, a Hispanic male, died at the scene from a gunshot wound after an altercation among a large crowd that police say escalated to gunfire.

The shooting happened around 11 p.m. near Bates Avenue and also wounded a teenage girl, who was taken to the University Hospital and was expected to recover. Louisville Metro Police Department’s Seventh Division Major Brian Kuriger described the incident as the result of a dispute that led to gunfire. An investigation was opened and authorities asked the public to use an anonymous tip line, but no suspects or arrests have been announced and the inquiry remains ongoing.

If anyone was at the gathering or has information about what triggered the dispute or who fired the shots, please contact the police tip line.
