Kontar Dwayne Roberson was 37 when he was fatally shot in the early morning hours of October 9, 2017, on South 23rd Street in the California neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. He lived on the same block where he was found and was remembered by family as a helpful, kind man who used his carpentry and cooking skills to aid neighbors; his niece described him as a father figure who often helped her with schoolwork.

The shooting followed a dispute with a 16-year-old neighbor, Jeremiah Carter, who was on home incarceration for the 2016 Pegasus Parade shooting. Carter removed his ankle monitor during the altercation and fled; he was arrested later that evening in the 2600 block of Taylorsville Road and charged with murder. The charge was later amended to second-degree manslaughter after a plea in which Carter claimed self-defense; Roberson was unarmed. Carter received 10 years probation for Roberson’s death, to run concurrently with 15 years probation for the earlier shooting. Roberson’s family said they were deeply disappointed with the sentence and felt it did not deliver justice.

If anyone knew Roberson or witnessed what happened that night, can you share information that might shed light on the case?
