Police identify 25-year-old man shot and killed near Charlestown Road in New Albany

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police released the name of a man who was shot to death early Thursday in New Albany.

Around 2 a.m., officers were called to reports of a shooting at a home in the 1300 block of Beechwood Avenue, according to a news release from New Albany Police Chief Todd Bailey. That's near Charlestown Road.

When officers arrived, they found the victim, later identified as 25-year-old Dajour Drones, according to Bailey, who said Drones died at the scene "from apparent gunfire."

Police said Drones was a resident of the home.

We spoke with neighbors who say they were shocked to hear the gunshots in their typically quiet neighborhood.

Tyler Blair said they hear the sounds of fireworks from time to time, but family members in his home thought they heard "four gunshots all at once." He said they opened a 2nd floor window "to try to listen and it was dead silent."

Investigators are still searching for the shooter, but have not yet released a description.

No arrests have been made. If you have any information on this case, call the New Albany Police Department at 812-948-5300, 812-944-6411 or the TIP Line at 812-948-NAPD.
