Christian Lavada Gwynn was 19 when he was shot and killed on the night of December 19, 2019, in Louisville, Kentucky. He had been out with a friend on West Market Street when a car drove past, circled back, and shots were fired from a window. Christian was struck and later died at University Hospital.

He was known to his family for his sense of humor and his love of music; he spent hours in his garage working on rap songs that often celebrated his sisters. His parents, Krista and Navada Gwynn, made public appeals for information as they sought answers and justice after his death.

Investigators later linked a stolen red Chevy Malibu to the shooting. In April 2021, police arrested 22-year-old Jameko Lee Hayden and charged him with murder, receiving stolen property, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon; Hayden was reported to have been in possession of the vehicle seen fleeing the scene. In April 2023 Hayden pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter, receiving stolen property, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Christian’s mother said the sentence did not erase the void left by her son’s death.

Did anyone who knew Christian or who was in the West Market Street area that night see the red Chevy Malibu or notice anything unusual?
