Deion I. Kennedy, 20, was found fatally shot inside his car in the Walmart parking lot on Outer Loop in Louisville on the evening of August 5, 2017. Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots around 7:30 p.m. Kennedy’s family said he had played football at Eastern High School and was involved with Canaan Church; they hoped to create a scholarship in his memory. He was survived by his mother, stepfather, and nine siblings.

Investigators concluded Kennedy and a woman named Taylor Bailey had gone to the parking lot under the pretense of selling a handgun, which was a ruse for an attempted robbery. During the robbery attempt the intended victim shot Kennedy; police determined the shooter had acted in self-defense and did not charge them. Seven months later authorities arrested Taylor Bailey and charged her with murder and robbery; she pleaded not guilty at arraignment.

Does anyone have information about Kennedy’s life, his time at Eastern High School, or the events that night?
