Authorities say the second of two men shot by police in Kentucky has died.
Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Michael Haag said 38 year-old Billy Ray Riggs Jr. died of a gunshot wound at a hospital Saturday (2/3). Riggs and 32-year-old Alexander Simpson were fatally shot during a drug bust Thursday (2/1).
Louisville police Chief Steve Conrad says Detective Darrell Hyche was released from a hospital after being shot in the face and head during a traffic stop. Conrad says Detective Bradley Woolridge returned fire after someone in a truck fired shots. It’s unclear who opened fire from the pickup and there’s no body camera footage because the detectives were on “plainclothes assignment.”
The pickup’s other passengers, 41 year-old Mark Alan Risner and 37 year-old Roger Dale Goodman, pleaded not guilty to trafficking charges.
