LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Neighbors at a St. Matthews apartment complex say they are shocked after two men were shot and killed Thursday night.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the men as 21-year-old Gary Brown and 40-year-old Steven Curtis. Both died from fatal gunshot wounds.
The Louisville Metro Police Department is investigating the incident, which took place at the Oxmoor Apartments Complex.
A department spokesperson says officers responded to a call around 8 p.m. of two dead people inside an apartment in the 7400 block of Steeplecrest Circle behind the Oxmoor Mall.
Rebekah Duvall, a resident at the complex, said she and her boyfriend decided to go look outside after hearing loud noises.
"It was just a little overwhelming," she said. "It was a little surreal because that stuff doesn't always happen in your backyard."
Duvall says she also heard a "very distraught" women pacing along the sidewalk, screaming.
"Then at some point I just hear her say 'he's dead!'" Duvall said.
She told WHAS11 it was scary to have a shooting happen so close to home.
"It's just a little unsettling because, you know, anyone can just walk into the complex," she said. "So yeah, [I'm] probably looking for more safety measures after that."
The LMPD Homicide Unit is investigating the incident and believe foul play was involved in both victims' deaths.
