Five years after Louisville murder, victim still not identified

Do you know this man? He was shot and killed on Dec. 3, 2009,
outside an apartment complex near Preston and Gilmore in
Louisville. The people responsible were tried and convicted, but
police need help identifying the victim.
LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) -- Five people are serving time in prison
for his murder five years ago. The problem? Police don't know
who the victim is.
"It's the most bizarre case," said Brenda Wescott, a detective
with LMPD's Cold Case Homicide Unit.
Wescott told WDRB it's a solved case that feels incomplete.
"We know who did it. We just don't know who the victim is. We're
done as far as my department's concerned. Good job, we closed
the case. As far as the courts are concerned, it's done. Good
job, you got the bad guys. They're in jail. But it doesn't feel
done," she said.
The man pictured was shot and killed on December 3rd, 2009
outside an apartment complex near Preston and Gilmore in
Louisville.
"People heard the shots. He was actually chased by his
assailants and he was shot," said Wescott.
The picture came from a phone found in a nearby apartment that
may or may not be his.
Within a month of the murder, five suspects were arrested.
Keith Fowler, Cedric Johnson, Ashley Marshall, Jonathan Downs
and Devan Peterson have since been charged and convicted for the
murder.
"They targeted him for a robbery and he resisted and they killed
him," Wescott told WDRB.
Because of the circumstances, it's a murder, Wescott says, that
would normally go unsolved.
"This is solved because two 6th division detectives Todd
Roadhouse and Derrick Brooks, arrested another young man for a
robbery and he gave information."
Detective Wescott says they've gone to extreme lengths to try to
identify the victim.
"We reached out to homeland security and to immigration to see
if they could help us out through fingerprints or
identification, criminal histories, anything. Nothing."
The victim is buried at River Valley Cemetery in southwest
Jefferson County. Some St. Xavier students raised money to buy
him a headstone and to perform a proper burial. Because of his
Hispanic heritage, the students engraved Juan Doe, instead of
John Doe.
Wescott says she'll keep investigating until she learns the name
of her mystery victim.
"This is the first case for me and any of my peers that we know
of where we actually picked a murder up, five years have gone
by, we were fortunate enough to be able to solve the murder, the
case is adjudicated, the courts have spoken and we still don't
know who our victim is."
If you recognize the man in the picture, call the Cold Case
Homicide Unit at 574-7120 or you can leave an anonymous tip at
574-LMPD.

On December 3, 2009, the unidentified male was chased by
assailants outside Preston Oaks Apartment complex at 1205 Quest
Drive in Louisville, Kentucky before being shot and killed. Law
enforcement has determined that he was targeted for a robbery
and resisted. People heard gunshots and called law enforcement
who found the victim and have been unable to identify him. A
phone was found in a nearby apartment and while they are unsure
if the phone belonged the to victim, it did contain a photo of
him (shown above and in the gallery below). Within a month of
the murder, five suspects were arrested. Keith Fowler, Cedric
Johnson, Ashley Marshall, Jonathan Downs and Devan Peterson have
since been charged and convicted for the murder.
Law enforcement reached out to Homeland Security and Immigration
in an effort to identify the decedent through his fingerprints,
but there were no matches. It is believed that the decedent was
from either Mexico or Honduras.
Some St. Xavier students raised money to buy him a headstone and
to perform a proper burial. Because of his Hispanic heritage,
the students engraved Juan Doe, instead of John Doe. He is
buried at River Valley Cemetery in southwest Jefferson County.
