Man Charged After Mother and 14-Year-Old Daughter Found Shot to Death in Louisville

Police say the suspect confessed to the shootings and investigators are probing alleged evidence tampering as the case proceeds through arraignment and pretrial steps.

Overview

  • Louisville police responded to a 'persons down' call on the 3900 block of Miami Avenue and found two female victims with fatal gunshot injuries in what investigators describe as a domestic incident.
  • Investigators arrested 24-year-old Tobias Malone on Tuesday and charged him with two counts of murder (domestic violence) and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
  • According to an arrest citation reported by local media, Malone gave a mirandized statement admitting he shot both victims and said he destroyed a victim's phone and threw the gun from a car.
  • Malone was arraigned the next morning, pleaded not guilty, and is being held on $1 million bond with a preliminary court date set for June 11.
  • LMPD's Homicide Unit continues to canvass the Portland neighborhood, has asked the public for tips through its anonymous Crime Tip Line, and is processing physical evidence and witness leads.
