Chea’von Moore

Chea’von Moore was a 24-year-old member of the Louisville community whose life in April 2023 was cut short. Public records and local reporting show Moore had been participating in a workforce training program run by Goodwill at Jefferson Community & Technical College’s Technical Campus building—the program brought him to the downtown campus on April 10, 2023, where friends, neighbors, and classmates knew him as part of that cohort. He had recently completed a period of incarceration and, according to public records cited by local reporting, became eligible for parole in March 2023 as he worked toward reentering everyday life.

Available reporting does not include a family-published obituary or extensive personal tributes that would list relatives, hobbies, or a detailed life history. What is verifiable is that Moore was a young Black man from Louisville whose life intersected with local educational and job-readiness efforts aimed at providing second chances and employment pathways. His being on the Goodwill-hosted program at JCTC indicates he was engaged in preparing for work and rebuilding his life after earlier court involvement that led to incarceration. That effort to reestablish himself—returning to training and community programs—helps form an important part of how to remember him.

Though public sources emphasize the circumstances of his death because of how the event affected many, it is also clear that Chea’von was a person trying to move forward. In writing about him here, the focus is his life and the human reality behind the headlines: a young man taking steps to rejoin his community through education and employment programs. Where public records are limited, this page honors the fact that Chea’von was known to others, connected to local programs, and had hopes and plans that remain part of his story.
