Overview
- Two women were found shot to death at Family Scholar House on the edge of the University of Louisville campus, and investigators have treated the incident as a homicide.
- Louisville Metro Police and UofL Police responded to the scene and opened an active investigation, asking anyone with information to use LMPD’s anonymous tip line or online tip portal.
- The university said neither victim was a student and that there is no known ongoing threat to campus, while urging the community to remain alert and report suspicious behavior.
- UofL offered counseling through its Counseling Center and Employee Assistance Program and encouraged students, faculty and staff to download the SafeZone app for safety alerts.
- Family Scholar House serves student parents and children who often face poverty or unstable housing, and the killings risk deepening trauma for residents and spurring calls for increased neighborhood safety and information-sharing.
