Jonah Ware was 19 when he was found fatally shot in Louisville, Kentucky, on the afternoon of Friday, August 7, 2020. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide. Initial police activity began around 1 p.m. at South 44th Street and Garland Avenue, but officers found nothing there; about an hour later a separate call led them to South 43rd Street and Garland Avenue in the Chickasaw neighborhood, where Ware’s body was discovered and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Louisville Metro Police continue to list the case as an active investigation. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The lack of public leads has left Ware’s family and community without answers.
