Do you know who murdered Julie Clemons? In the early morning hours of Saturday, February 7, 2015, the lives of 28-year-old Julie Clemons and her fiancé, Aaron Combs, 30, were tragically cut short in their West Louisville home. A neighbor contacted police around 4:30 a.m. after hearing the sound of gunshots. When officers arrived at the residence on West Hill Street, they discovered the couple had both sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Clemons and Combs had been together for six years and were in the process of planning their
wedding. Friends and family described them as selfless people who cared deeply for others. The couple had recently moved to Louisville from Clarksville, Indiana, hoping for a fresh start as Combs had been overcoming a battle with substance abuse. They shared their home with a roommate, who was reportedly present on the night of the murders but was unharmed.
The investigation into the double homicide has been challenging for law enforcement due to the early morning hour of the crime, which resulted in a scarcity of witnesses. In the days following the murders, family and friends of the couple made an emotional public plea for anyone with information to come forward and assist the police. They expressed their profound grief and confusion, stating that the couple did not deserve such a violent end.
Despite the ongoing investigation and the family's pleas for answers, no arrests have been made in the case, and a suspect has not been publicly identified. As of early 2017, the case was considered a cold case. The families of Julie Clemons and Aaron Combs continue to await justice for their loved ones, their deaths remaining an unsolved and painful chapter in the city's history of violent crime.
