Louisville Metro police have made an arrest in the shooting death of a woman that happened nearly two years ago.
Derek M. Fulleord, 34, of Louisville, was arrested around 4:30 a.m. on Friday (12/20) on a warrant for murder, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and receiving stolen property (firearm). Court records also show Fulleord is facing charges for trafficking in cocaine and meth.
The shooting Fulleord is accused of happened just after midnight on January 8, 2023, in the 1400 block of Sale Avenue.
Officers on patrol heard gunshots and began heading to the area. While they were responding, a ShotSpotter run and a call about a shooting came in for the Sale Avenue address.
The victim, 63 year-old Paulette Ray, of Louisville, died before she could be taken to a hospital.
The arrest of Fulleord came after Louisville Metro Police officers saw a car speeding on Cane Run Road. When they finally got the vehicle stopped, a check of the registration showed it belonged to a different vehicle. The arrest report says the drugs were discovered during a search of the vehicle.
Fulleord has been booked into Louisville Metro Corrections and is expected to be arraigned December 21.
