Shortly before 1 a.m. on September 8, 2021, gunfire was reported on Slevin Street in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood. Officers who responded found 42-year-old Onie Gatewood unresponsive outside; he had suffered a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an investigation. Early reports say investigators had not identified any suspects and that the circumstances of the shooting were unclear. The coroner later confirmed Gatewood’s identity and cause of death. Law enforcement asked the public for help and the case remained an open homicide investigation with no arrests reported at that time.

If anyone has information about Gatewood’s movements that night or saw suspicious activity on Slevin Street, please share what is known with the authorities.
