In the summer of 2020, on the evening of July 31st, the life of 25-year-old Tyus O. Sublett was tragically cut short in Louisville, Kentucky. A Black male, Sublett was discovered inside a vehicle in an alleyway in the 1000 block of Dr. W.J. Hodge Street in the California neighborhood. The call reporting a shooting came in at approximately 6:30 p.m.
When officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department arrived at the scene, they found Sublett and another individual, 21-year-old Peyton Armstead of Evansville, Indiana, both of whom had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Both Sublett and Armstead were pronounced dead at the scene. The Jefferson County Coroner's Office later confirmed that the cause of death for both individuals was the multiple gunshot wounds they had suffered. The circumstances that led to the fatal shooting remain unclear to the public.
