LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Metro Councilwoman is addressing concerns after a man was shot and killed on Bardstown Road early Sunday.
Cassie Chambers Armstrong said she has been concerned by the rise in gun violence in the Highlands.
“I have been expressing my concerns about Bardstown Road with numerous government agencies and asking them to take steps to help with these challenges," she said.
Her statement comes after a man believed to be in his late 20’s to early 30’s was shot and killed in the 1000 block of Bardstown Road around 4 a.m. Sunday.
That victim was transported to UofL Hospital where he later died. His name has not been released.
Armstrong also explained in her Facebook post that officials have been working with Metro Police “devote targeted resources for hot spots, ABC for late night enforcement and Solid Waste Management and Code Enforcement to combat litter.”
A community meeting has been planned where residents can address their concerns on Aug. 24 at the Highlands-Shelby Park Library from 6 to 8 p.m.
She expects leaders from agencies including Metro Police and Louisville Forward to address the issues.
“We need to do more, and we want to hear from you about your ideas for how we can all come together to be part of the solution,” Armstrong said.
Armstrong is also expected to release her proposed plan on making and keeping Bardstown Road safe.
Police do not have any suspects in this latest homicide.
