A phone dispute in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, escalated into a deadly encounter on the evening of April 6, 2019. Twenty-year-old Tashawn Feld was shot in the torso when Elvis Carrier, then 29, stood on his Parthenia Avenue porch armed with an AR-15 and fired multiple shots after believing Feld posed a threat. Feld died of the wound.

The gunfire endangered bystanders. Several rounds struck a car with a woman inside and penetrated a neighboring home, where a woman was hit twice in the side while her two-year-old child slept beside her. Witnesses at the scene said Feld was unarmed, contradicting Carrier’s claim that he faced an armed threat.

Carrier was arrested and charged with second-degree manslaughter for Feld’s death, plus second-degree assault and two counts of wanton endangerment for the other victims. He initially said he acted in self-defense and later pleaded guilty. Does anyone have information about Feld, his activities that night, or witnesses who saw what happened?
