LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) — A 19-year-old man was arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in Louisville’s California neighborhood.
Louisville Metro Police said officers responded just before 10 p.m. Feb. 12 to a shooting in the 1600 block of Garland Avenue.
When officers arrived, they found a man unresponsive with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said in an update Wednesday that Darryl Goodwin was charged in connection with the homicide. He is facing charges of murder and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Goodwin is being held at the Kentucky State Reformatory on unrelated charges.
He was previously arrested in April in connection with a shooting in March in the Park DuValle neighborhood.
A 17-year-old boy and a man were both shot in the 1500 block of South 30th Street. They were taken to UofL Hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
