Ahmed Rah, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot in the head in Louisville’s California neighborhood on August 12, 2017. The shooting happened in the early morning; Rah was taken to University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition and was pronounced dead at 10:30 a.m. the same day. The cause of death was ruled a gunshot wound.

Louisville Metro Police arrested 22-year-old Mykeya Pruitt at the scene. Police reports say witnesses identified Pruitt as the shooter, that she admitted the shooting, and that she tried to conceal her involvement by removing bloody clothing. She was originally charged with attempted murder; after Rah’s death the charge was upgraded to murder and she was also charged with tampering with physical evidence. The case was assigned to the homicide unit.

Rah’s family described him as kind and loving with a big heart. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Ahmed, please share what you know.
