On Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016, 21-year-old Tyrone Booker Jr. was shot in an alley off East Oak Street in Louisville. He was taken to University Hospital but was pronounced dead. Booker, known to friends and family as TJ, left behind a young son and relatives who held a candlelight vigil at the scene.

Booker had been one of four young men later dubbed the Misidentified Four after being wrongfully arrested and jailed for more than two months in connection with downtown mob violence; the city subsequently settled with them for $1.5 million. Family members said he planned to use that experience to help other youth and that his life appeared to be getting back on track before the shooting.

Louisville Metro Police identified brothers Kentrey Moore and Terrance Moore Jr. and said the shooting grew out of a pre-planned drug deal that escalated into a robbery and homicide. Both brothers pleaded guilty to reduced manslaughter charges; Kentrey Moore received 15 years, and Terrance Moore Jr. received 22 years, the latter including a felon-in-possession handgun charge. Did anyone who knew Tyrone see him around East Oak Street in the days before March 27, 2016?
