Michael L. Carter, a 26-year-old man, was fatally shot in Shawnee Park in Louisville, Kentucky, on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2016. The park was hosting its annual Juice Bowl football games when a dispute among people socializing there escalated into gunfire; investigators said the violence was unrelated to the football event itself.

The shooting occurred in the afternoon and involved at least 19 rounds. Two men died at the scene: Michael L. Carter and 32-year-old William D. McKee. Five other people suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Part of the disturbance was captured in the background of a Facebook Live video recorded by a park-goer.

Louisville Metro Police opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help, but despite many witnesses in the crowded park the case cooled without arrests or publicly identified suspects. Carter’s mother has expressed frustration with the department’s communication about her son’s unsolved death.

If anyone was at Shawnee Park that day or has information that could help, please come forward.
