James Russell, 58, was found inside a Lindbergh Drive home in the Taylor Berry neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, after officers responded to a call about 8 p.m. on December 27, 2020. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide detectives investigated. Witness interviews and ballistics analysis focused attention on a young man identified as a primary suspect. Two witnesses told police the suspect fired at them shortly after Russell was shot; neither was injured. One witness knew the suspect personally and positively identified him to detectives.

Eighteen-year-old Fredrick R. Rodgers was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Russell’s death. What details about motive or events inside the house can anyone with information add to the investigation?
