Louisville Metro Police Investigate Two Non-Fatal Shootings Reported Minutes Apart Near South Third Street Road

Louisville Metro Police are investigating two non-fatal shootings that were reported within minutes of each other Monday night near South Third Street Road, after two men were shot in what investigators described as an apparent related set of incidents. According to WAVE, the first shooting was reported in the South Third Street Road area, and a second shooting involving a male victim was reported shortly afterward, with police describing the timing and location as factors that prompted investigators to look at whether the cases are connected. Both shootings resulted in injuries to the two men, WAVE reported, and police have not said publicly that either victim died as a result of the gunfire. Louisville Metro Police have continued the investigation and are working to identify suspects and determine the circumstances surrounding each attack. WAVE reported that the incidents were handled by Louisville Metro Police responding to calls for gunfire. Detectives have gathered information from the scene and are reviewing what witnesses and residents reported to help establish a timeline and link the events if investigators confirm that connection. Police have not, in the initial reporting, provided details on the victims’ identities, ages, or the severity of injuries, and they have also not released information on any suspect descriptions tied to the shootings. The investigation remains active, with detectives focused on determining what led to the gunfire, whether the same individuals or group were involved, and how the two cases relate to each other. Residents in the area where the shootings were reported are being encouraged to assist investigators by sharing information that could help detectives identify suspects or clarify what was seen or heard during the span of minutes between the calls, WAVE reported. As the case develops, Louisville Metro Police are expected to update the public if additional information is confirmed, including investigative findings on whether charges are pursued and whether the incidents are formally linked.
