Louisville police arrested a man who allegedly beat another man to death in the Shawnee neighborhood.
Court documents said the incident took place on April 15 when Louisville Metro Police responded to a report of a man down in the 300 block of 42nd Street.
Officers arrived and found a man suffering from multiple blunt-force injuries. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died from his injuries nearly two weeks later on Friday.
The coroner identified the man as 53-year-old Jacky Woodard.
Police arrested 64-year-old Tony Glasper the day after the incident. Documents said Glasper was last seen getting into a car driven by Woodard.
A witness told investigators that Glasper admitted he assaulted Woodward with a tire iron. The tire iron, along with blood evidence, was later found in the vehicle by investigators.
Police charged him with one count of assault. A murder charge is pending.
