David W. Boggs, 50, was shot and killed on the evening of August 10, 2020, in the Shawnee neighborhood of Louisville. He had traveled there from Prospect, Kentucky, reportedly with his son to buy or sell a cell phone; police say the meeting appears to have been a setup and believe the transaction was used to lure them for a robbery. The Louisville Metro Police Department investigated links to online marketplaces used to arrange in-person exchanges, and described the case as ongoing.

A couple of weeks after the shooting, police arrested a 14-year-old who was charged with murder, first-degree robbery, and wanton endangerment in connection with Boggs’s death. Boggs’s family described him as a devoted husband and father and urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew David, was at the exchange, or has information about that evening, please share what is known with investigators.
