On the afternoon of May 6, 2017, 18-year-old Jaylin Hobbs was shot in the Chickasaw neighborhood of west Louisville. The shooting occurred around 4:45 p.m. near 36th Street and Greenwood Avenue; Hobbs was later found wounded a few blocks away on the pedestrian walkway over the I-264 overpass at 36th and Dumesnil Streets and died after being taken to University Hospital.

A 16-year-old male was taken into custody within hours and later identified as Deshawn Banks, who was charged with murder and three counts of attempted murder for allegedly shooting at other people. Friends of Hobbs said they were walking to a store when Banks shot at other youths, pursued them, and shot Hobbs, who had asthma and no inhaler and could not keep up. Banks told police he had been the target of an attempted robbery; police said surveillance footage contradicted that account and confirmed Hobbs was not carrying a gun.

The killing compounded grief for the family, reported to have suffered multiple homicides in roughly a year. Does anyone have information about Jaylin’s final movements that afternoon or the people present at 36th and Greenwood?
