Le'Shaun Cartel Leevon Shepard, a 23-year-old Black male, was killed on October 30, 2017. The incident that claimed his life unfolded at the intersection of 26th Street and Eddy Alley in Louisville, Kentucky.
In the wake of his death, Le'Shaun was remembered by his loved ones.
His family, including his mother, Caprice Wilson, his father, Melvin Hubbard, and his young son, Le'Shaun Shepard Jr., were left to mourn his passing. The investigation into his murder was initiated by the Louisville Metro Police Department, but the case has remained open and unsolved.
