LaMaurie Maurie Trayion Gathings, 17, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of Friday, June 4, 2021. Louisville Metro Police found a vehicle on Old Park Boulevard near Crittenden Drive just before 3:45 a.m.; Gathings and two other people inside had been shot. The other two victims survived with injuries described as not life-threatening, while Gathings was pronounced dead at the scene and later identified by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.

Investigators believe the shooting did not occur where the vehicle was found and that the victims were shot elsewhere before driving to Old Park Boulevard. Known as Maurie, he was a high school student due to graduate the following year, a former youth football player and someone family and neighbors remembered for his kindness and helpfulness. The Louisville Metro Police Homicide Unit has an open investigation; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced.

If anyone has information that could help explain where the shooting occurred or who was responsible, please share what is known with investigators.
