NEW ALBANY, Ind. — More than two weeks have passed since a tragic shooting near Harvest Homecoming left one person dead and two others injured.
New Albany Police said they are making progress in the investigation in hopes of bringing those responsible to justice.
According to police, multiple law enforcement agencies including Louisville Metro Police executed search warrants at six locations – four in New Albany, one in Jeffersonville and one in Louisville – Sunday around 6 a.m.
Chief Todd Bailey said the goal was to recover evidence related to the shooting.
So far, two people have been detained and police are withholding their names and charges at this time.
Bailey said several guns have been recovered but did not reveal if any were used in the shooting killing Bryce Gerlach, an 18-year-old Harvest Homecoming attendee who was an innocent bystander when gunfire erupted on Oct. 12. The shooting also left Brendan Hagan and Michelle Nashi injured.
Bailey said they are making “great strides” in the investigation and ensures justice for those impacted by the senseless violence.
“Our team has worked tirelessly from the time of the incident to get to where we are today. Cases of this type are complicated and time consuming but our commitment to our community is our primary driving factor,” he said.
Police said they will not be releasing any further information as the investigation is still active.
