LMPD: 1 dead following shooting in Jacobs neighborhood

Police said the victim, who was shot in the 3600 block of Lentz Avenue, died shortly after being transported to the hospital Sunday night.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man has died after being shot in the Jacobs neighborhood.

Metro Police responded to the 3600 block of Lentz Avenue following reports of the incident around 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

When officers arrived, they found a man that had been shot.

He was taken to UofL Hospital with life threatening injuries but later died.

With the increase of violence happening around the community, police said people are being tight-lipped, and that's not helpful.

"Not everybody feels comfortable talking to police because they don't feel comfortable- don't want to be retaliated against- that's why we have that Anonymous Tip Line," Major Tiffany Tatum, Fourth Division, said.

Police do not have any suspects.

If you have any information that can help police, you are asked to call the Anonymous Tip Line at 574-LMPD.
