Anthony Smith Jr. was 18 and a senior at Western High School when he was shot and killed on a Saturday in the winter of 2015 in Louisville, Kentucky. The shooting occurred on Adrienne Way, less than 200 feet from his parents’ home; two classmates were shot at the same time and survived with injuries.

Police described a three-on-two fight involving Smith and his classmates. The scene spanned three locations and involved a vehicle and a house, and the Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit led the investigation. A neighbor remained with Anthony in his final moments, and the family held a vigil urging no retaliation while pleading for answers.

A few days later authorities announced no criminal charges in Anthony’s death, ruling the fatal shot a justifiable homicide because the shooter reportedly acted in self-defense. Investigators said the probe was not entirely closed and that possible charges related to the initial fight could still be pursued.

If anyone has information about the fight or the events on Adrienne Way that night, please share what is known.
