On March 21, 2021, 26-year-old Rayshawn Dewayne Gatewood was killed on the front porch of a home near South 26th and Cedar streets in the Russell neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. The shooting happened just before 12:30 p.m.; Gatewood was found deceased on the porch. A woman who was with him was shot multiple times and taken to University Hospital for surgery.

Louisville Metro Police identified a suspect from witness accounts and arrested 23-year-old Andre Griffin at his home on April 26, 2021, after an arrest warrant was issued. Griffin had been involved in a prior conflict with Gatewood, including an October incident in which he allegedly shot Gatewood in the leg. Griffin was charged with one count of murder and two counts of first-degree assault and was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections.

Gatewood was remembered by family and friends; his funeral was held April 3, 2021, at New Covenant Baptist Church and he was buried in Louisville Cemetery. If anyone witnessed the March 21 shooting or has information that could help, please share it with investigators.
