On the afternoon of August 14, 2020, 21-year-old Brandon Waddles was shot and killed on Kahlert Avenue in the Jacobs neighborhood of Louisville, KY. His 3-year-old daughter, Trinity Randolph, who was with him at the time, was also shot; she was taken to a hospital and died of her injuries. Both victims were pronounced dead as a result of the incident.

Louisville Metro Police identified two suspects during the investigation. Surveillance footage showed a vehicle used in the crime that was traced to 28-year-old Evan Ross, who was arrested and charged with two counts of facilitation to commit murder after allegedly admitting involvement when confronted. Police also arrested Kevon Lawless, whom they identified as the shooter; he was charged with murder, burglary, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. A witness at trial said they had helped lure Waddles to the location.

In September 2022 a jury found Kevon Lawless guilty of the murders of Brandon Waddles and Trinity Randolph and he was sentenced to life without parole, but the Kentucky Supreme Court later overturned that conviction and ordered the case back to Jefferson Circuit Court because a juror had been exposed to news reports about a witness’s alleged perjury. Does anyone in the Jacobs neighborhood remember seeing activity or a vehicle around Kahlert Avenue on August 14, 2020?
