Louisville Metro Police homicide detectives are investigating after a fatal shooting Monday in Louisville’s Algonquin neighborhood.
It happened around 10:45 a.m. in the 1700 block of Patton Court, according to Louisville Metro Police Department spokesman Dwight Mitchell.
At least a dozen Louisville Metro Police officers were called to investigate along with the Crime Scene Unit. When they arrived on scene, Mitchell said officers described finding a woman’s body outside the apartments.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim on Tuesday as 15-year-old Dovia Pernell.
Raymond Brooks, who runs the Park Hill Community Center across the street from the shooting scene, said a couple men who frequent the center said they know who shot the girl.
Mitchell said officers were canvassing the area to look for potential witnesses. Brooks said if some of his guys know who the shooter is, it won’t take long for police to track the suspect down.
