Malik Savage was 20 when he was shot and killed on the afternoon of July 13, 2020, on Lytle Street near North 24th and Bank Streets in the Louisville neighborhood of Portland. Police arrived around 4 p.m. and found Savage with a single gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial reports said there were no immediate suspects and investigators asked the public for information as the case remained open. In April 2021 an arrest was announced: 20-year-old Timothy Turner was taken into custody in connection with the shooting. Police allege Turner arranged a gun sale at nearby LaPorte Park, was in possession of a firearm that was fired during the incident, and later sold the weapon. Turner was charged with facilitation of murder and tampering with physical evidence and booked into Louisville Metro Corrections.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the weapon transfer at LaPorte Park, or either man’s movements that day, please share what is known.
