Denny Scott Kincaid was 26 when he was found wounded in an alley in the 2700 block of Alford Avenue in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood on the evening of Saturday, January 24, 2015. He was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital and pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m.; the Jefferson County Deputy Coroner confirmed his identity.

Louisville Metro Police opened a homicide investigation and arrested a 17-year-old white male in an alley off Alford Avenue on Tuesday, January 27, charging him with Kincaid’s murder. Two 18-year-olds, Nicholas Espinoza and Ketrick Ballanger, were later also charged. Investigators say the apparent motive was robbery. Reports say Kincaid was a friend of Espinoza’s and that the three had been driving around together, drinking and smoking marijuana earlier that night.

Kincaid suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. Ballanger later implicated Espinoza as the shooter; Espinoza denied involvement and said he had been dropped off at home before the shooting, though police showed him surveillance video that allegedly placed him in the alley. Both of the older suspects initially tried to blame a third person, who may not exist. Does anyone who knew Denny or was in the Portland area that night have information to share?
