  • The Jefferson County coroner identified the woman who was shot as Tiffany Reiner, 45, who died after the attack at a home on Ridgecrest Road around 2 a.m. Monday.
  • Louisville police say 20-year-old Frank Aguilar approached arriving officers with a handgun, ignored commands to drop it, raised the weapon, and was shot by an officer; he later died at the hospital.
  • LMPD named Officer Hunter Weaver as the shooter, a Sixth Division officer who joined the department in 2023 and has multiple commendations and one reprimand on file.
  • The department’s Public Integrity Unit is conducting the investigation, and officials say the incident was captured on body-worn cameras slated for public release within ten business days.
