LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Jefferson County Coroner's Office identified the victim shot on the Watterson Expressway Aug. 18.
The coroner said 37-year-old Ahmed Jabar died at UofL Health Friday from multiple gunshot wounds.
Fourth Division officers responded to the Watterson eastbound lanes near the Southern Parkway exit around 5 p.m. Sunday.
Officers said they found Jabar inside a vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound. He was taken to UofL Hospital with critical injuries.
The incident caused the interstate in the area to be closed for two hours while police began piecing together the investigation.
The Homicide Unit is handling the investigation.
Police did not say if any arrests were made in connection to the incident but said all parties have been accounted for.
"It's senseless, right? It can be avoided," Maj. Matt Meagher with LMPD's Major Crimes Division, said. "If you're in a situation where somebody is mad at you, when you're driving, just back off, let them go."
He said it is still unclear right now if Sunday's shooting was targeted or random.
For Louisville, it marked the third shooting in three days, taking place on Louisville roadways.
"It's a rough weekend for the community. It's a rough weekend for LMPD," Meagher said. "I just think that if if we as people could, you know, learn how to resolve our problems without resorting to violence, that would help tremendously."
In the early hours of Friday, a Metro Police officer was flagged down by a motorist on the Watterson near the Breckenridge Lane overpass. That officer noticed a vehicle riddled by bullet holes and the driver who was injured by broken glass.
Police believed the incident may have happened on the interstate near Poplar Level Road.
That victim was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Saturday night, Shively Police said 42-year-old Rickey Jones Jr. died from a gunshot wound, driving his car on the interstate.
Officers with the department said the shooting happened on the Watterson in the area of Cane Run Road.
Meagher said it can be difficult for investigators to collect evidence, particularly in cases where the scene is a busy roadway.
"It makes it tough when [on] the terrain up there, you're looking for different pieces of evidence," he said. "That is a little difficult there with the shoulders and and the grassy areas and in the roadway itself."
