In the spring of 2019, 30-year-old DJuantez Anthony Mitchell was fatally shot by a Louisville Metro Police Department officer during an investigative stop in Jeffersontown, a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. The encounter occurred on May 15, 2019, as plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles were surveilling a white Kia they believed was linked to a string of violent robberies and being driven by Mitchell.

Police say officers surrounded the vehicle near Watterson Trail and Ruckriegel Parkway, and that Mitchell accelerated, striking Officer Bryan Arnold and endangering other officers on foot; Arnold, a 22-year department veteran, then fired multiple times into the car. No firearm was found in Mitchell’s vehicle. Officers pulled Mitchell from the car, gave first aid, and he was pronounced dead at the University of Louisville Hospital.

Mitchell’s family disputes the account and filed a wrongful death lawsuit in 2020, alleging he was on the phone and trying to comply when shot and that he was shot before the car moved. The robbery unit officers were not wearing body cameras and their vehicles lacked dashcams, though a nearby home security camera recorded the moments around the incident. Officer Arnold was placed on administrative reassignment while the Public Integrity Unit investigated.

Did anyone in the area see or record additional footage of that intersection on May 15, 2019?
