On the evening of June 3, 2019, 17-year-old Devin Swann was fatally shot near the basketball courts at Victory Park in Louisville, Kentucky. The shooting happened around 9 p.m. after a black car reportedly approached the area and multiple shots were fired; Swann was struck in the back multiple times while trying to flee and later died of his wounds.

Police say the violence arose from an illegal gun sale that turned violent. An arrest followed the next day, June 4, 2019, when 18-year-old Brandon Briceno was taken into custody. He admitted during questioning to firing at two people as they ran away and also confessed to involvement in an earlier shooting that day near Wyandotte Park, which injured a woman. Officers found no evidence supporting Briceno’s claim that Swann had fired a weapon.

Briceno was charged with Swann’s murder and an assault charge tied to the earlier shooting; a grand jury later indicted him and bail was set at $2 million. The community around Victory Park was left mourning and frustrated after the death.

If anyone witnessed the events at Victory Park that night or has information about the illegal gun sale, please share what is known.
