LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for murdering a well-known Louisville activist during a carjacking.
According to court documents, Ashton Nally was sentenced to 30 years in prison, followed by a 5-year term of supervised release, for carjacking resulting in death, and the use, possession, and discharge of a firearm during, and in relation to, a crime of violence, resulting in murder.
Hamza "Travis" Nagdy was shot and killed on Nov. 23, 2020 on the 2100 block of Crittenden Drive. Nagdy was active in the Breonna Taylor protests during summer 2020 and became known for the megaphone he carried in his hand.
There is no parole in the federal system.
“This sentence should serve as a stark warning to the citizens of the Commonwealth of Kentucky who choose to commit armed carjackings and other senseless acts of violence. The FBI and our law enforcement partners will not stand for violent offenders who recklessly terrorize innocent lives,” Special Agent in Charge Michael Stansbury said. “In partnership with the Louisville Violent Crime Task Force, FBI Louisville will continue to work tirelessly to ensure violent criminals are removed from our streets.”
