DeShawn Magett was 31 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 5, 2020, in the 400 block of South 39th Street near Muhammad Ali Boulevard in Louisville’s Shawnee neighborhood. Police arrived after a shooting call around 6 a.m.; Magett sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was one of three fatal shootings in Louisville within a span of less than nine hours that day.

A native of Flint, Michigan, Magett had moved to Louisville to pursue a business degree at Jefferson Community College with plans to study engineering. He was a father, a poet and musician who played drums. The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a criminal homicide investigation, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced, leaving the case unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Magett, his routines, or the incident that could help investigators and his family find answers?
