A Louisville woman is still learning to cope six years after her boyfriend's unsolved murder

There are more than 780 cold cases dating back to 1963 that are being investigated by LMPD's Cold Case Division. One occurred in November 2018 on S. 27th Street. “And on my phone on Facebook there was a video of a man who was live. He said, 'Hey, come get your people, he's dead in the car,'” Jacquanette Young said. That's how Young found the love of her life and her daughter's father, 29-year-old Marcellus Hinton, was shot and killed. November 3 marks another year without answers, and for Young, each year brings more heartache: “It's a struggle.” I think I cry every day. I give myself five minutes. I cry, pray and hold myself together because I don't want my pain to touch my child,” Young said. Thanks to a local nonprofit, she has learned to deal with this pain. “I joined Street Widows to have someone I could relate to,” Young said. The foundation was founded by Ashley Johnson, a Louisville mother who lost her husband to gun violence in 2020. She says the group is bonded by shared grief: “You can come in. You can talk.” You can share your story. You can vent. If you need a hug, you can get a hug,” Young said. “More than the services we offer, I think the sisterhood is the most important thing,” Johnson said. The nonprofit offers services including financial assistance with funeral costs, but Johnson said the organization needs more money and volunteers. “We.” I had to turn away 24 families this year because we lacked funding. Of course, the number one need you need when you lose someone is financial,” Johnson said. While religious services may be at risk, sisterhood is not — and that's all for people like Young, who said it helps her maintain hope that there will be justice one day. “Someone knows something,” Young said. The organization meets on the last Wednesday of every month. For more information click here.
