Anonymous Tip Leads To Arrest Of Murder Suspect

January 20, 2024 by Mable Cundiff


Louisville Metro police have made an arrest in the shooting death of a Louisville woman last spring.

Maurice Rayshawn Byars, 33, is charged with one count each of murder and robbery. He was taken into custody in the 1200 block of S. Preston Street Friday afternoon by members of the LMPD Homicide, Fugitive Unit and SWAT.

Louisville Metro Police said a call to their anonymous tip line led to the arrest of Byars.

Byars is charged with the May 29, 2023 shooting of 37 year-old Amanda Miller at the CVS on the corner of Preston and Broadway.

According to Miller’s mother, her daughter and Byars had been in a relationship for three weeks before she was killed.

Byars was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections and is expected to be arraigned Saturday morning.
