Charles Cavanaugh was 39 when he was killed during a violent home invasion in Louisville, Kentucky, on the night of Friday, June 23, 2017. The incident happened at his apartment on West Jefferson Street in the Russell neighborhood during what police describe as an attempted armed robbery involving four people.

Three suspects armed with guns forced their way into the apartment. Cavanaugh returned fire and struck two of the intruders. One of those intruders, 20-year-old Milik Lewis, was pronounced dead at the scene. Cavanaugh was shot during the exchange and later died during surgery after being taken to a local hospital. Two women, Lyndia Yarnell and Shaleta Harris, were arrested and charged with complicity to murder and complicity to robbery; a fourth identified suspect, Marlin Carpenter, was hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

Are there readers who knew Cavanaugh or have information about the events that night?
