LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — This weekend, Louisville Police responded to three homicides and three other shootings where the victims are expected to survive.
The violence started with a triple shooting at 8:43 p.m. Saturday night at JJ's Food Mart on Dixie Highway. LMPD said all three of those victims were taken to the University of Louisville Hospital and expected to survive.
A few hours later at 12:37 a.m. Sunday morning police responded to a shooting near Park Hill where a woman in her late 30's had a gunshot wound to the arm. Police said she's also expected to survive.
A third non-fatal shooting happened at 1:12 a.m. Sunday morning at a club called "Legends" on West Broadway. An 18-year-old had a gunshot wound to the leg and is expected to survive.
Just before 7 a.m. Sunday morning a woman was found dead with lacerations to her throat on Autumn Way, police said.
A few hours after that, a man was shot and killed on East Muhammed Ali Boulevard near the Liberty Green Apartment complex. People who live in that complex said they're tired of the violence in the area and the entire city.
"We're sick and tired of being sick and tired of all this violence," Stacee Spurling, President of the apartment's Resident Council, said.
Spurling said they've asked the city and the Louisville Metro Housing Authority for over two years to add security at the complex.
"We asked for that in our demands and we're like, 'what is it going to take, a death?' and sure enough here's another one," Spurling said.
The deadly shooting at the apartment complex is one of three homicides in a 24-hour span in Louisville, along with the three separate non-fatal shootings in the same time frame.
"It's not the Louisville I remember it being, and it's a shame, we've always had our issues, but we never had them this bad," Mark Pence, who lives at the complex and is the founder of Gloves Not Gunz Inc., said.
Pence said he wants to see city leaders give back to people who actually live in Louisville and have for a long time.
"It's a shame that we get up every day we work, we do what we gotta do to make this city thrive, but yet all the attention is put on tourism," Pence said.
The violent weekend comes days after an FBI data report shows Louisville had more people killed per capita in 2024 than both Chicago and Los Angeles.
Spurling said she just wants city leaders and others to sit down with residents in a meeting to talk about public safety for the area.
"Our mayor, our councilmember, our property manager and LMHA all need to take a stand and do something because I'm sick and tired as well as all these residents here are sick and tired," Spurling said.
The latest homicide happened at 3:24 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Officers found a woman, who had been shot multiple times, dead near the Shawnee Boat ramp.
