A man is facing charges in connection to the shooting death of a man whose body was found behind a Peddlers Mall.
Austen Dakota Green, 20, of Elizabethtown, was taken into custody on Wednesday (12/20) night and charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence in the death of Anthony Gullotto, 26, of Radcliff.
Officers discovered Gullotto’s body after they were called to Lakeshore Plaza, located on Dixie Highway, around 6 am Tuesday (12/19), according to the Elizabethtown Police Department. Green admitted to the shooting when he was questioned by detectives. He told detectives he was behind the business with Gullotto when Gullotto attempted to punch and rob another man, which prompted him to shot Gullotto four times.
Green said after the shooting he drove away and tossed the handgun out of the window. He then returned to the scene to ensure Gullotto was dead and collected shell casings and threw away the shell casings at his home.
Green was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center. Anyone with additional information in this case is asked to call the Elizabethtown Police Department at (270) 765-4125.
