LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A 15-year-old boy was killed in a parking lot shooting at a business in the Russell neighborhood late Monday night, Louisville Metro Police said.
LMPD Maj. Micah Scheu said officers responded to the intersection of 28th and Broadway around 8:30 p.m. on reports of a shooting in a parking lot.
Schue said when officers arrived, they found a teenage boy who had been shot multiple times. He said the boy had died at the scene.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office has identified the victim as Jaquan Slaughter, 15.
About two hours after the shooting, LMPD's First Division officers responded to the University of Louisville Hospital, officials said in a Tuesday update.
They said a man had driven himself to the hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound. Police determined he had been shot at the scene of the homicide in the Russell neighborhood.
"At this time, we are not prepared to discuss the relationship between the homicide victim and the victim that arrived later at University Hospital," the department said in an update.
According to police, the fatal shooting is "directly tied" to a crash that happened near 28th and Broadway just earlier in the evening.
However, authorities say they don't believe the people in the other car are connected to Slaughter's homicide.
LMPD says detectives are still investigating the entire situation to determine everyone's role. At this time there are no suspects in custody.
Anyone with information is asked to call the department's anonymous tip line at 502-574-LMPD (5673). Reports can also be made online.
