LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified Monday a mother and her teen daughter who were shot and killed last week in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood.
Officials identified the victims as 29-year-old Vienna Peoples and 13-year-old Labria Miller.
Officers were called Tuesday, June 2, to the 3900 block of Miami Avenue about 10:15 a.m. on a report of "persons down," Louisville Metro Police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said in a statement. That’s near Bank Street and North 39th Street.
Police found the two victims shot to death at the scene and said the incident "appears to be domestic."
Tobias Malone, 24, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, domestic violence, and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
According to an arrest citation, Malone gave a statement after being read his Miranda rights, admitting to the shooting. He also admitted to destroying a cellphone belonging to one of the victims and throwing the gun he used in the shooting out of a car window.
He pleaded not guilty, and his bond was set at $1 million. Malone is expected to next appear in court Thursday, June 11, for a preliminary hearing.
