Troyvonte Hurt was 14 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting in Louisville’s Smoketown neighborhood on the evening of August 24, 2016. He was at the corner of Clay and Jacob Streets when a car drove by and multiple shots were fired into a crowd; Troyvonte was struck in the head and died. Two others were wounded and expected to recover.

Family and his football coach remembered him as a lover of food and football, and he was nicknamed Fat Daddy. A vigil was held at the shooting site where family and friends gathered; his grandmother said she arrived to find him lying in the street. Police said dozens were present at the time but few came forward with statements.

A 16-year-old, Dominique Coleman, was later arrested and indicted in November 2016. Detectives say Coleman had returned fire at the vehicle and that Troyvonte was killed unintentionally when Coleman’s shots struck him. The corner was described as known for gang activity but also as a common gathering spot for Troyvonte and his friends.

Anyone who knew Troyvonte or has information about that night is asked to come forward.
