LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After two teenagers from Louisville were arrested in connection to a shooting that left an 18-year-old dead last week, one of them pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.
Micah Mattison, 19, and La'Zario Carr, 19, were charged with murder on Tuesday in connection to a homicide on Oct. 4 that likely occurred in the Portland neighborhood.
Mattison pleaded not guilty in court, and his bond was set at 500,000.
Louisville Metro Police said officers were called to UofL Hospital around 7 p.m. after Braxton Donavon Tucker showed up with gunshot wounds.
Tucker died at the hospital shortly after arriving authorities said.
Police don't know where he was shot, however, according to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office, he was likely shot near 20th St. and Portland Ave.
Mattison's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19 at 9 a.m. Carr won't be arraigned until Oct. 24.
