Terrance Sheckles, a 60-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on July 21, 2020, on Garland Avenue in Louisville’s California neighborhood. Police responded at about 2 a.m. and Sheckles was pronounced dead at the scene after being struck by a single bullet to the back of the head.

Investigators say the shooting followed an argument between Sheckles and his neighbor, Debra Denise Rainey. According to police reports, Rainey allegedly produced a handgun during the dispute, demanded that Sheckles drop his beer, and — despite witnesses pleading with her to put the gun away — raised the weapon, said she would kill him, and fired as Sheckles walked away. A witness reported Rainey then tried to hide the gun in the witness’s home, and when refused, left on a motorized scooter with the firearm.

Rainey was arrested two days after the shooting and charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence; police initially named another man as a person of interest but later said Rainey was the only person arrested. Anyone with information about Terrance Sheckles or the July 21, 2020 incident is asked to come forward.
