LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The investigation into a murder Wednesday night ended with one suspect shot and a second suspect in custody.
At about 9 p.m., Louisville Metro Police were called to a home on Woodruff Avenue near Taylor Boulevard and I-264. When officers arrived, they found a man who had been shot. He died at the hospital.
"I heard a bang, bang, and I thought it was a wreck," said Patricia Jones, who lives nearby.
Jones eventually learned there was a shooting and the victim was her neighbor.
LMPD Spokesman Dwight Mitchell now says a shooting nearby is related to the murder.
"The second individual appears to have non-life-threatening injuries," Mitchell said. "That person is also transported to University Hospital. I believe that happened in the 3600 block of Lentz Avenue."
Police say the man was found shot at a home on Lentz Avenue at about 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
A second suspect, 19-year-old Damion Hayes, was taken into custody and charged with murder and robbery.
