Jacoya Mangrum was a 20-year-old Black mother from Louisville who was shot and killed on the morning of June 11, 2016. She had spent much of the previous day riding around the city with friends and her one-year-old son. The group stopped at a gas station in the early hours; an argument over gas money between Jacoya and Antwoin Williams escalated into a physical struggle inside and outside a car near South 13th Street and Patton Court, outside the Parkway Place housing complex.

Court records say Williams returned to the open passenger-side door, drew a handgun, and shot Jacoya in the head. Camp pulled the child from the back seat and called 911; Jacoya was pronounced dead at the scene and her toddler was not physically harmed. Williams was arrested the next day, charged with murder, first-degree wanton endangerment, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, tampering with evidence, and related offenses; his bond was set at $500,000. The killing prompted vigils in the neighborhood.
