Jossette Danielle Lane, known as Josie, was 29 when she was fatally shot in Louisville’s Newburg neighborhood on July 26, 2020. The shooting followed a dispute near Shasta Trail and Unseld Boulevard that began as a verbal argument and escalated into a physical fight; witnesses say a woman later identified as Grenisa Smith grabbed Lane’s hair and kicked her before leaving the scene.

Witnesses say Smith returned armed with a handgun, aimed at Lane’s head, and stated an intent to kill before firing. Lane was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital and died later that evening. The Louisville Metro Police Department identified a suspect and arrested 31-year-old Grenisa Smith on July 31, charging her with murder based on witness testimony and a photographic identification.

Does anyone have information about the events near Shasta Trail and Unseld Boulevard on July 26, 2020, or knew Jossette Lane?
