On the evening of March 16, 2021, 24-year-old Demontray Rhodes was shot in the Park Hill Housing Complex at about 6:30 p.m. near South 12th and West Hill streets in Louisville, Kentucky. First responders found Rhodes with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition and was pronounced dead shortly after 7 p.m. that same evening.

Surveillance from the city’s Real Time Crime Center captured a vehicle leaving the scene with five people inside. The following day officers located the car and arrested 21-year-old Deric Burns, who admitted being in the area and was charged with murder. In the weeks and months afterward additional arrests followed: 20-year-old Deandre Smithers was taken into custody in April 2021 after a SWAT standoff, and 19-year-old Dmitri Crumes was identified on video running from the scene with what appeared to be a handgun and was later arrested in July 2022.

Investigators ultimately implicated five people. Tameron Meadows pleaded guilty to facilitation to murder and received five years probation. Deric Burns received probation, Deandre Smither was sentenced to three years, and Kevon Jackson was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Does anyone have information about Rhodes’ movements that evening or saw suspicious activity in Park Hill on March 16, 2021?
