LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A month after a man was shot and killed in Lyndon, Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) said they have a suspect in custody, thanks to tips from the public.
On Aug. 23, the department shared surveillance video of a man they believed was involved in a murder earlier in the month. LMPD asked for information on the man and directed people to their anonymous tip line, 574-LMPD (5673).
LMPD said the information they received from the public helped them to identify the suspect as Kevin Thompson, who turned himself in to police in September.
Police believe Thompson shot and killed 27-year-old Kyle Michael Elzy on LaGrange Road on Aug. 14.
According to court documents, the two had no relationship.
Thompson is charged with murder and robbery. He's expected to appear in court Sept. 18.
"Thanks to your help, a family is getting justice for the loss of a loved one," the department said in a social media post.
