Dietrich Lavell Murray was 29 when he was shot and killed in Lexington, Kentucky, on the morning of August 31, 2022. Police found him lying in the road at the intersection of North Broadway and Loudon Avenue with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and later died. The city recorded his death as its 32nd homicide of the year.

Investigators recovered a single spent .380 caliber shell casing at the scene. That casing was later linked to a handgun that was in the possession of 45-year-old James Catlett during a traffic stop on September 1, 2022, one day after the shooting. An eyewitness subsequently identified Catlett as the shooter from a photo lineup. Catlett was arrested on September 24, 2022, and charged with Murray’s murder; he was being held at the county detention center awaiting court proceedings.
