Toreon Jermaine Hudson was 26 when he was killed during a mass shooting at Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, on the night of September 18, 2020. A Valor Traditional Academy graduate and a commercial field manager for Protect Environmental, he was described by family as full of life and joy.

The shooting was reported just before 11:30 p.m. Police found Hudson and 24-year-old Steven Matthew Head dead at the scene; a third victim, 48-year-old William Scott Smallwood, was taken to hospital and later died. Authorities located a 33-year-old man crawling in brush near the restaurant; his clothing matched the suspect seen on video and he had a handgun consistent with the shell casings at the scene. He was arrested and charged with three counts of murder.

Hudson’s funeral was held at Fern Creek Baptist Church where family and community members gathered to mourn. The motive for the shooting remained unclear. If anyone knew Toreon or has information about that night, please come forward.
