In the early morning hours of July 30, 2016, the life of 28-year-old Stepfon R. Harris was tragically cut short in Louisville, Kentucky. Harris, a male known affectionately to friends and family as 'Man,' was discovered in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn on East Jefferson Street, having been fatally shot multiple times.
A father of five children, Harris was remembered by his family as a loving and sweet person who cherished his siblings and sought to keep his family connected.
His aunt recalled how he was always looking out for his brothers and sisters. Beyond his family life, Harris was also known for his positive contributions to the community, volunteering with the Hood2Hood organization in an effort to create a better environment for those around him.
In the years that have passed since his death, Stepfon Harris's case remains one of Louisville's unsolved homicides. Despite pleas from his grieving family for anyone with information to come forward, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified in connection with his murder. His mother and other relatives have held vigils and spoken out, expressing their pain and their desire for justice for a man they describe as having a big heart. The investigation into his death is ongoing, and his family continues to hope that one day they will have answers and closure.
