On the final day of a year marked by a surge in violence in Louisville, two young people were found shot to death inside a vehicle in the Smoketown neighborhood. In the early morning hours of December 31, 2020, 23-year-old Daniel Key Jr. and 21-year-old Antonia Lucas were discovered in a car on Lampton Street. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed both died from gunshot wounds.

The Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an investigation with few leads and asked the public for help identifying suspects. Investigators later reported that cell phone records showed calls between Key’s phone and a number associated with Mahlon Harris in the hours before the victims’ bodies were found, and a grand jury indicted Harris in July 2022 on two counts of murder and related weapons and offender enhancements.

If anyone knew Daniel, Antonia, their movements that night, or has information about the case, please share what you know with investigators.
