Kenneth L. Courtney was 48 when he was shot to death on Sunday, June 4, 2017, in an apartment at the Partridge Meadows complex on the 1600 block of Blue Jay Drive in Lyndon, Louisville. He had spent the day with his cousin, 31-year-old Ronald Campbell Jr.; both men were found inside the apartment and the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office ruled their deaths due to multiple gunshot wounds. Neighbors described the complex as usually quiet, and police said the number of shots and the daylight timing suggested the attacker had a clear, lethal purpose, though official accounts did not state a motive.

Louisville Metro Police treated the event as a double homicide and appealed for information, but there has been no public announcement naming a suspect. Kenneth is remembered by family as a central presence at gatherings and the father of two adult sons, Kenneth Jr. And Sterling. Anyone who knew Kenneth, Ronald, or who has information about what happened at 1608 Blue Jay Drive is asked to come forward.
