LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - Another family in Louisville is grieving after losing one of their loved ones.
John Taylor Jr., 32, was out walking in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood on the night of Friday, Feb. 10 when somebody shot him. He died in the hospital.
His family held a memorial for him on Saturday. They said he kept to himself, never bothered anyone, and nobody who actually knew who would have done this.
