Donald Lee Donny McFly is the stage name used in the case file for a 36-year-old Black male identified as Donald Lee Mattingly, a father of seven and co-founder of the Unstoppable Sound label who performed as Donnie McFly and Wreck D Mic. On the night of June 8, 2015, he left a concert in the Parkland neighborhood of Louisville near 29th and Kentucky streets with his close friend and business partner Henry Anderson Jr., who performed as Father Jah. Gunfire erupted around 2:00 a.m., striking both men; both were taken to the University of Louisville Hospital and Mattingly died just before noon on June 9, 2015. Anderson was admitted in critical condition.

The Louisville Metro Police Department opened a homicide investigation but leads were scarce and the case remained unsolved into the following year. Family members including his brother Stephen and father Donald Mattingly Sr. publicly expressed grief and frustration, and the appearance of posters reading Snitches End Up in Ditches in the neighborhood was said to have discouraged witnesses. No arrests or charges had been announced on the police department’s open homicide list.

Does anyone who remembers that night or who knew Mattingly and Anderson have information that could help identify the shooter?
