Shawn Ray Pippin, 46, was fatally shot outside a Days Inn on Fern Valley Road in the Okolona neighborhood of Louisville on the evening of June 1, 2021. Officers found him suffering from multiple gunshot wounds around 9 p.m.; he was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition and died shortly after arrival. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later confirmed his identity and cause of death.

At the time of the initial response no suspects had been identified or taken into custody and the motive remained unclear. The Louisville Metro Police Department urged anyone with information to contact their anonymous tip line. Pippin’s family — his wife and children — were left mourning a man described as a loving husband and father who enjoyed working on old cars, fishing, and hunting.

Does anyone have information about Pippin’s movements that evening or saw anything near the Days Inn around 9 p.m. on June 1, 2021?
