On May 21, 2019, 27-year-old Corey Johnson was fatally shot inside his Louisville apartment at 18th and West Main Streets. He died at the scene while his five-year-old son and his mother were also in the residence. The child told family the shooter was a man who shot his father.

Investigators found no sign of forced entry, leading police and the family to believe Johnson likely knew the person he let into the home. The shooter reportedly fled into a nearby alley after the killing. Family members, including his sister Monique Johnson, publicly appealed for information in the months that followed; by late 2019 no suspects had been publicly named and no arrests had been announced.

Does anyone have information that could help bring justice for Corey?
