LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A man was arrested Monday for shooting his ex-girlfriend earlier this month in Louisville's Shawnee neighborhood, according to police.
Davon Gant, 30, was charged with assault-domestic violence in connection with the March 9 shooting.
The shooting happened just before 6:30 p.m. in the 600 block of South 44th Street, according to Louisville Metro Police.
According to court documents, the victim was outside the location visiting friends when Gant and another suspect showed up, firing multiple rounds at her. Police said she was hit three times in the chest and abdomen and taken to University of Louisville Hospital. At the time of the shooting, police did not believe her injuries were life-threatening. Court documents state the two used to date.
Gant and the other suspect fled the scene before police arrived. He was arrested Monday afternoon on a warrant.
He pleaded not guilty in court Tuesday morning and his bond was set at $25,000 cash. He's still being held at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, awaiting his next court appearance on April 1.
