LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Three men were indicted this week nearly three months after a Louisville Metro Police officer was critically injured in a shooting on South 40th Street in the Chickasaw neighborhood.
Officer Brandon Haley was shot in the abdomen and critically wounded Sept. 7 at 38th and West Kentucky streets. LMPD said Haley was attempting to catch up to a car that didn't have lights on. He got out of his car and radioed back that two subjects were running from the scene. As he ran toward their car, the body camera footage shows Haley stumble to the ground as more than 15 shots ring out.
On Wednesday, a Jefferson County grand jury indicted Dominique Thompson for a slew of charges:
- Attempted murder of a police officer
- First-degree assault on a police officer
- Wanton endangerment
- Trafficking in controlled substance (methamphetamine)
- Trafficking in controlled substance (heroin)
- Three counts of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon
- Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon
- Receiving stolen property
- Tampering with physical evidence
- Resisting Arrest
Related to the same shooting, Jaquan Random was indicted on possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and resisting arrest, and Jemond Groves was indicted on possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and third-degree criminal trespassing.
LMPD released body camera video of the shooting about two weeks afterward. Haley was shot in the abdomen and critically wounded. He was released from the hospital nearly three weeks later.
"We are happy to report that Officer Brandon Haley has been discharged from the hospital and was able to return home," Haley's family said in a statement. "His recovery journey will continue from home as he works with home health and receives outpatient services. The strength and determination he has shown continues to improve as he works through the next phases of recovery."
Quantez Porter and Demarco Coney Jr. were also arrested in connection to the shooting.
