An 18-year-old Louisville man, Dillon Walker, died in the early morning hours of a Saturday in August 2014 after a firearm discharged in a Routt Road driveway. The shooting happened around 2 a.m. while Dillon and a 17-year-old friend were at a residence where neither lived. Police reports say the two were playing with a gun when it went off, and Dillon suffered a fatal wound.

Authorities took the 17-year-old into custody and charged him with murder in connection with Dillon’s death. Dillon had just graduated from Western Hills High School and was preparing to attend Eastern Kentucky University to study aviation. He had also been active in a project honoring fallen service members and was named an honorary member of the Kentucky National Guard, which planned to place a brick with his name at the memorial he helped with.

If anyone knew Dillon or has information about that August night on Routt Road, please share what you know with the thread.
