LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police are searching for a 19-year-old in connection to a fatal shooting in Jeffersonville.
Jeffersonville Police responded to a shooting in the 200 block of Kopp Avenue at 10:20 p.m. on Nov. 21. Police said a 34-year-old man had been shot.
The man, who hasn't been identified, died at the hospital the next day.
Police identified the shooter as Anthony White, a Jeffersonville man. Police conducted a search warrant at White's home at Greenwood Apartment complex, but he wasn't there.
According to a news release, police made direct contact with White through his family and arranged to meet with him. But White didn't appear at the scheduled appointment, so a warrant was issued for White for the offense of murder.
Police said White is believed to have connections in the Kentuckiana area including Jeffersonville and Louisville.
Police said there is no ongoing threat to public safety. Police believe it is an isolated incident.
While that's the case, it does have some residents on edge.
"I don't like it," said a Jeffersonville resident. "If he already killed once, he might do it again."
Many in the community hope the suspect is found soon.
"They catch that little son of a gun and get him," said the same resident.
Anyone with any information about White's whereabouts are asked to call Jeffersonville Police Department Detective Division at (812) 285-6535 or the police department's anonymous tip line at (812) 218-8477.
