Devonne King was 23 when he was killed during a home invasion in Louisville, Kentucky. On Wednesday, August 13, 2014, men forced their way into his Terril Lane residence in the Newburg neighborhood; a confrontation ended in gunfire and King was taken to University Hospital, where he died of a gunshot wound. He was a member of St. Stephen Baptist Church and a father to a young son, Brayden King.

Within a day one suspect, 24-year-old Raquqn Carmichael, turned himself in. The next day police arrested three more men: 34-year-old Freddie L. Downer, 28-year-old Mohammad Jawad, and 21-year-old Bennie Thomas. All four were charged with murder and burglary in connection with the home invasion.

His funeral took place the following Monday at his church and he was buried in the Louisville Cemetery. If anyone knew Devonne or has information about the August 13, 2014 home invasion, please come forward.
