LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) are investigating after three men were shot in the Newburg neighborhood Monday evening.
LMPD spokesperson Beth Ruoff said officers responded to a report of multiple people shot in a parking lot on Poplar Level Rd. near Rangeland Rd. around 6:40 p.m. When they arrived, they found three men who had been shot.
They were taken to the hospital in critical condition. Tuesday, Ruoff said in an update that one of the men had died from his injuries and the incident will be investigated as a homicide.
The Jefferson County Coroner's office identified the victim that died as 47-year-old Eric Wise. No information was released on the other two men.
