Shootings and Crashes Leave Multiple People Hurt and Several Dead in Louisville Area

Police are seeking community tips to determine whether clustered holiday‑weekend shootings connect to fatal crashes in Shively

Overview

  • Early Sunday morning, officers responded to a shooting outside a motorcycle‑club lot on the 1700 block of Berry Boulevard where investigators say five to six people were injured and most gunshot wounds were non‑fatal.
  • Around the same time, Shively police found two women dead at a single‑vehicle crash on the 3400 block of 7th Street Road and have said autopsies and evidence work are needed to determine a cause.
  • A separate Shively crash later in the holiday period led to a man in his 30s being charged with DUI and murder after one woman died and another was hospitalized in critical condition near Rockford Lane and Dixie Highway.
  • Additional, possibly unrelated violent incidents include a Kennedy Road shooting that sent a man to the hospital with non‑life‑threatening injuries and an interstate road‑rage shooting whose victim arrived at UofL Hospital with non‑fatal wounds.
  • Louisville Metro and Shively police say investigations are active, departments are coordinating across jurisdictions, and officials are urging witnesses to use an anonymous tip line or online portal to overcome a 'culture of silence' that they say hinders solving cases.
