LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man is dead and two other people are fighting for their lives after a shooting Monday morning in the Deer Park neighborhood.

Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said the shooting happened about 3 a.m. Monday in the 1500 block of Bardstown Road, which is near Bonnycastle Avenue, not far from Eastern Parkway. 

That's where officers found three adults — two men and one woman — who had been shot.

One person was killed and another two people are in critical condition after a shooting.

All victims were taken to UofL Hospital, where one man died. The Jefferson County Coroner's Office identified the victim as 31-year-old Ricky Kemp. The other two victims are in serious condition.

Police are searching for suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call the anonymous Crime Tip Hotline at 502-574-LMPD (5673) or utilize the anonymous Crime Tip Portal at LMPD Crime Tip Portal.

In at least two neighborhood meetings WDRB attended in the last few months, neighbors in the Highlands expressed concerns about rising crime and feeling unsafe.

But the President of the Highlands Commerce Guild Aaron Givhan said these problems are community wide not just specific to Bardstown Road. However, Givhan said a study is being done about how late bars and restaurants should be allowed to stay open.

In the last several weeks LMPD's 5th Division, which serves the Highlands, has added two new resource officers to meet with residents and business owners about concerns.
