Kwame El-Amin, 42, was shot while attending the annual Dirt Bowl basketball tournament at Douglass Park in Lexington on Father’s Day, June 21, 2015. The event drew a large crowd; gunfire broke out and five people were hit. El-Amin suffered a serious gunshot wound and was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, where he died on June 25, 2015.

A well-known local entrepreneur who ran a popular food truck and a devoted father of three, El-Amin was remembered as generous and community-minded. Lexington police opened an investigation but investigators encountered conflicting witness statements and widespread reluctance among those at the crowded park to come forward. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who was at Douglass Park that evening or has information that could help bring answers is asked to come forward.
