Kentucky agencies are implementing a new initiative to address firearm theft and gun crimes by awarding those with information on weapons up to a few thousand dollars.
According to a news release from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the agency is partnering with Kentuckiana Crime Stoppers and Louisville Metro Police to kick off the program, intended to “help combat firearms theft and improve public safety across Kentuckiana.”
Those with “information leading to arrest and seizure of stolen firearms” can earn up to $3,000. Kentuckiana Crime Stoppers will award $1,000, and the ATF will match it while additional firearms located earn $500 with a max payout of $3,000.
LMPD Police Chief Paul Humphrey said Crime Stopper programs have been relatively successful in Louisville. More than 100 homicides occurred in 2023, with comparable numbers so far this year.
“LMPD and its partners rely on information provided by members of the community to help combat the gun violence plaguing our neighborhoods,” Humphrey said. “Crime Stopper programs have a proven track record of success in helping keep a city safe by providing tipsters with a safe and anonymous method of reporting information crucial to law enforcement.”
Individuals with information can submit tips anonymously at (502) 582-CLUE (2583) or online at http://www.582clue.com.

Arkansas women’s basketball blown out by Kentucky in season-ending loss at SEC Tournament | Whole Hog Sports
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
As for the Aggies, the only name on the report is Mackenzie Mgbako, a one-time Kentucky target who remains out for the season after undergoing foot surgery. Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMilan said today that Mgbako will return next season, which would be a big boost for the Aggies before the offseason begins.
