The Louisville Field Offices of the FBI and Bureau of ATF with the Louisville Metro Police Department are asking for the public’s assistance in locating those responsible for the murder of Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputy Brandon Shirley. At approximately 2:30 a.m., on August 5, 2021, Deputy Shirley was working in uniform on an off-duty security assignment at the Rockford Lane Auto Sales, 2618 Rockford Lane, Shively, KY. A gunman, or possibly gunmen, approached Deputy Shirley and opened fire. Deputy Shirley was rushed to the hospital, but he succumbed to his wounds.
