In the early evening of May 23, 2017, 24-year-old Darnell Hunt was found inside a vehicle at the intersection of Southern Avenue and Hemlock Street in the Park Duvalle neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency responders took him to University Hospital in grave condition; Hunt died there the next day, May 24, 2017. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death a single gunshot wound to the head.

Louisville Metro Police detectives investigated the scene and recovered shell casings from two different firearms, a detail that suggested the possible involvement of at least two shooters. Investigators were working to determine whether the fatal shot was fired from inside or outside the vehicle and whether Hunt had been alone. No arrests have been announced.

Hunt leaves behind two young daughters; his mother, Chevalier Mahone, publicly appealed for information and returned to the scene looking for answers. If anyone has information about what happened that evening, contact the Louisville Metro Police anonymous tip line.
