Overview
- Louisville police announced a fifth arrest, charging a 17-year-old with murder and robbery in the Dec. 20 killing of 20-year-old Milton Ritchie in Pleasure Ridge Park.
- Court records show charges against alleged shooter Daontez Hodges were dismissed for now, and prosecutors retain the option to refile.
