Timothy Berry Louisville KY Death – Louisville is grappling with another heart-wrenching incident of gun violence as its 2024 fatal shooting statistics continue to surge. The latest victim, a 15-year-old boy, was brutally gunned down in broad daylight, leaving a family shattered and a community shaken.
Timothy Berry, a sophomore at Jeffersontown High School, was shot multiple times on Wednesday afternoon while walking through Old Louisville. The incident occurred around 3:30 PM near the intersection of 3rd and St. Catherine Streets.
By the time the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) responded to the scene, Timothy lay on the ground, fatally wounded. His promising life was cut short in a senseless act of violence, and the impact is being felt deeply throughout the community.
According to authorities, Timothy had been walking to visit his father at work when he was murdered. Known for his bright spirit, curly hair, and warm personality, Timothy had many passions. He loved spending time with his girlfriend, practicing kickboxing, playing video games, and going on adventures with his dad. Timothy had ambitions beyond his young age, with dreams of becoming a professional chef one day—a dream that now will never come to fruition.
The shooting, believed to have taken place in the area of Preston Highway and the Outer Loop, has left investigators with more questions than answers. The LMPD Homicide Unit is actively working on the case, but so far, no suspects have been identified.
Despite a comprehensive investigation, Timothy’s killers remain at large, and no arrests have been made. The uncertainty surrounding his death has heightened the sense of grief and fear in the city, which has seen an alarming rise in gun-related crimes over the past several years.
