Do you know who murdered Micah Gasaway Jr? In the late afternoon of September 22, 2019, tragedy struck in Louisville, Kentucky, claiming the life of 18-year-old Micah D. Gasaway Jr., an African American male known affectionately as 'Booman'. The vibrant young man had been at a family gathering and had just left his sister's home about 20 minutes prior. The fatal incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m.
in the 3400 block of Vetter Avenue, near the iconic Churchill Downs, where he was shot outside another family member's residence.
At the same time as Micah was fatally wounded, two other individuals were also shot at a nearby gas station located at the intersection of Taylor Boulevard and Central Avenue. Authorities investigated a possible connection between the two shootings, but no definitive link was ever publicly established. In the wake of the violence, Micah's family, particularly his sister, was left reeling with profound grief. They made public pleas for anyone with information to come forward, desperate for justice for their loved one who was remembered as a happy and loving individual.
Despite the family's appeals for help and the ongoing investigation by law enforcement, the case has grown cold. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Micah Gasaway Jr., and the case officially remains an unsolved homicide. The lack of closure has left his family and the wider community with lingering questions and a sense of unresolved justice for the young life that was cut short on that September day.
