On the evening of April 8, 2017, 38-year-old Damion Snoop Morton was shot while sitting in his vehicle in the 1300 block of Cypress Street in the Parkland neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Officers responded to reports of a shooting around 10:20 p.m. and found Morton inside his car with a critical gunshot wound. He was taken to University Hospital and died there three days later on April 11, 2017; the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide.

Morton, known to family and friends as Snoop, was described as a calm, observant person and a beloved son, brother, uncle, father, and friend. One key open question remains: who was responsible for the shooting that night and why? If anyone has information about Damion Morton or the events on Cypress Street that evening, please come forward.
