Tears streamed down 19-year-old Ava Jones’ face as she told a jury that while she was once on scholarship to play basketball for Iowa, she can no longer shoot a basketball or even walk very far after a Louisville man accused of being high on fentanyl crashed into her family in 2022.
A jury found Michael Hurley guilty Monday of murder, assault and driving under the influence two years after he ran over a Kansas family in downtown Louisville, killing a man and seriously injuring his wife and daughter.
