Police searching for 2nd suspect in brutal attack outside east Louisville restaurant

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Police are looking for a second suspect in a brutal attack outside an east Louisville restaurant.

Louisville Metro Police posted Wednesday about needing help locating 19-year-old Malakhi Scott Weathers-Parker, who is suspected in the brutal attack that sent three people to the hospital.

According to court documents, three people were going to eat at Malone's in the Paddock Shops when they yelled "say cheese" to a group of people having their photo taken in front of the restaurant Saturday, March 8.

Police said the group, including Weathers-Parker and Seth Jones, 19—who has already been arrested and charged—felt disrespected by being yelled at. The two men along with a juvenile allegedly returned to the parking lot looking for the other diners. Police said the alleged attackers went through different restaurants to find them.

When the victims came out to their car, they were confronted by Weathers-Parker, Jones and the juvenile. That's when a fight ensued. One of the victims was beaten with their own metal baton, according to police.

One of the victims was knocked unconscious during the fight, suffered a concussion and small brain bleed. Another victim had a skull fracture and brain bleed.

Weathers-Parker, Jones and the juvenile fled the scene, but police said the incident was caught on surveillance camera.
