LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Police have arrested a man after a 30-year-old man was shot to death on May 3 in the Jacobs neighborhood.
Jacori Harris, 52, was charged with murder (domestic violence) and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
According to the arrest citation, Jacori Harris was the father of the victim.
Last week, Louisville Metro Police responded to a call of a shooting in the 2400 block of Nichols View Court.
When officers arrived, they found Jo’Cori Harris Jr. had been shot. He received fatal injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene.
Carolyn Callahan, chief of communications and media relations for JCPS, says Jacob Elementary School had heightened its security because of the police activity in the area.
A WHAS11 crewmember on the scene said dismissal at Jacob Elementary was on hold until about 4:20 p.m. The school also canceled all after-school activities.
She says their bus compounds for Nichols Elementary School, Jacob Elementary School, and Detrick Elementary School just received the green light from LMPD to allow buses to start moving so some buses for dismissals throughout the district are running about 20 minutes behind.
Callahan said the shooting has no connection to the school.
