On the afternoon of February 23, 2015, a chaotic multi-vehicle collision in downtown Louisville drew emergency responders to Broadway between 9th and 10th Streets near the Transit Authority of River City’s Union Station. The driver of a black vehicle, 24-year-old Black male Kedren Lee, suffered severe injuries in the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later determined Lee had been shot before the collision. Detectives concluded he was driving himself to a hospital after being shot and lost consciousness or control as he succumbed to his wounds; the crash was treated as a secondary event to the fatal shooting. Investigators traced the shooting to the 600 block of South 16th Street and questioned the driver of a third vehicle involved in the crash, but no suspects were publicly identified and no immediate arrests were announced. The case was listed among the department’s open homicides for the year.

If anyone has information about the shooting on South 16th Street or saw the black vehicle before the crash, please share what is known.
