LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One year after 27-year-old photographer Tyler Gerth was shot and killed while documenting Louisville's fight for justice, his loved ones are launching a new foundation to support causes he cared about most.
Gerth marched alongside activists following the police shooting of Breonna Taylor, often seen capturing the voices of change with his camera. He was killed after a man opened fire into a crowd at Jefferson Square Park last June.
