Leontynae Nae Nae Wade was 37 when she was killed on a Louisville street on the evening of January 20, 2016. An argument near West Whitney and Peachtree Avenues with Corey Chapman, the father of two of her children, reportedly escalated and Chapman allegedly shot and killed her in front of two of their young sons, then ages two and eight.

Family remembered Wade as a devoted mother of four — Wilneisha, Laronshana, Corey, and Cortez — who worked at a local Rally’s restaurant and loved the University of Kentucky Wildcats. Her father, Brian Tucker, described the family’s deep grief; the community planned a vigil at the scene.

Louisville Metro Police Homicide Unit investigated, identified Corey Chapman from witness accounts including an interview with the eight-year-old, and a grand jury indicted the 34-year-old on murder charges. Chapman was entered into a national database and later apprehended. Does anyone have information about Wade’s life, the night of the shooting, or the community’s response that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
