Lamont Ray Pillows, 42, known as Ray Ray, was shot and killed on the night of April 29, 2017, in Louisville’s Limerick neighborhood. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds in the 1100 block of South 8th Street near West St. Catherine Street; the shooting was reported just after 11 p.m. He was taken to University Hospital but died of his injuries.

Pillows was remembered by neighbors as a good person who was planning a Kentucky Derby party to bring the community together. A memorial of flowers and balloons appeared at the shooting site near his home. The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a homicide investigation, and as of early 2024 the case remained unsolved with no arrests or publicly identified suspects and the investigation listed as open.

Does anyone who lived in Limerick in 2017 have information that could help bring answers for Pillows’ family?
