Louisville Metro Police are trying to put a name to a face after a late June shooting in south Louisville left two men wounded. The Non-Fatal Shooting Unit says the incident unfolded around 10:30 p.m. on June 29 in the 8800 block of South Third Street Road in the Third Division. Detectives have released an image of a man they want to speak with and say he was seen sprinting away from a store immediately after the gunfire.
According to WAVE, investigators with LMPD's Non-Fatal Shooting Unit shared the photo, credited to LMPD, and are asking anyone who recognizes the person to contact them. The release notes that both victims were hit at roughly 10:30 p.m., and so far no arrests have been announced. Police say they are banking on surveillance video and witness accounts to help confirm who the individual is.
What investigators say
Detectives are treating the incidents as connected, according to WDRB, which reports officers were first called to the 8800 block of South Third Street Road just before 10:30 p.m., then to a second scene near New Cut Road minutes later. One victim was found in a parking lot outside a business and the other near a vehicle, WDRB notes. Both men were taken to University Hospital, where their injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
