In the early hours of May 31, 2021, Jonathan Dupin, 36, was shot inside the 2 Brothers Market in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood and later died at University Hospital. Police were called just before 1 a.m.; responding officers found Safwat Ballasi, 40, the market’s co-owner, who said he heard the shot and discovered Dupin wounded. Ballasi told police the store’s surveillance system wasn’t working.

Investigators later found the surveillance recorder unplugged and reviewed video that showed Ballasi and Dupin inside the store. The footage reportedly captured Ballasi handling a handgun several times, a shot striking Dupin, and Ballasi walking toward the surveillance equipment shortly before the video ended. The handgun and the spent shell casing were not recovered from the scene. Dupin worked at the market and Ballasi was his employer.

If anyone saw the 2 Brothers Market around 1 a.m. on May 31, 2021, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
