Eric Carson, 47, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds on the morning of December 19, 2020, in the 4100 block of Hillview Avenue in the Shively area of Louisville, Kentucky. Police were called about 7 a.m.; Carson was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance from the street captured a black Ford Taurus pulling up behind Carson’s parked vehicle, an individual walking between the two cars, four gunshots, then a car horn.

Investigators linked a black Ford Taurus possibly matching one owned by 39-year-old Brandon Bartee of Louisville to the footage. On December 31, 2020, Bartee was arrested and charged with Carson’s murder and with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. A search of Bartee’s home turned up a 9mm magazine with ammunition that matched casings recovered at the scene.

Does anyone have additional information or witnessed activity in the Hillview Avenue area on December 19, 2020?
