A trip to the Kentucky Derby ended in tragedy for 49-year-old Scott Hunter, a visitor from Toronto. On the night of May 2, 2015, Hunter and a friend were walking back to their hotel in the Highland Park neighborhood of Louisville when they were accosted in what police described as a random robbery attempt. An altercation escalated and Hunter was shot multiple times; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His friend was unharmed.

Louisville Metro Police identified three suspects within days: 19-year-old Tyrone Thomas, 20-year-old Fatima Abu-Diab, and her 18-year-old brother Fahed Abu-Diab. Authorities tied the trio to a string of as many as nine robberies over Derby weekend, saying Thomas was the shooter and Fatima Abu-Diab drove the getaway car. The three were charged in Hunter’s killing; later sentencing left Fahed Abu-Diab with 35 years, Tyrone Thomas with 30 years, and Fatima Abu-Diab with 20 years.

Anyone who was in Highland Park on the night of May 2, 2015, or who has information about the robbery spree is asked to come forward.
