Overview
- A man who had been shot multiple times was found in an alley on the 600 block of South 3rd Street and died at the scene after officers applied a chest seal and tourniquet early Sunday morning.
- Hours earlier a different man with a gunshot wound walked into Norton West Louisville Hospital, was later transferred to UofL Hospital, and his injuries are reported as non‑life‑threatening.
- Detectives determined the hospital victim’s shooting occurred at Elliott Park on South 28th Street and established a crime scene there.
- LMPD’s Homicide Unit is leading the downtown death probe while the Non‑Fatal Shooting Unit handles the hospital case, and investigators say there are no known suspects as they work to determine any connection between the two victims.
- Police are asking anyone with information or cellphone or surveillance video to call the anonymous tip line at 502‑574‑LMPD (5673) or submit tips through the department’s online Crime Tip Portal, and residents near both scenes should expect investigators collecting evidence.
