A murder suspect is being held in Louisville Metro Corrections on a $1 million bond.
Joshua Miller, 36, is charged with murder and multiple counts of attempted murder of a first responder. According to police, Miller is accused of shooting a woman Sunday afternoon on Cypress Street. Louisville Metro Police said officers found a woman on the sidewalk who had been shot multiple times, and while they were trying to help her, she identified the suspect.
The victim’s identity hasn’t been released. In an arrest citation, police said a witness told officers the suspect “was her ex-boyfriend whom she had just contacted in order to retrieve her belongings.”
That citation said the witness explained to officers that she and the victim, her cousin, met with Miller who gave them a ride. Then she said as she was going inside the home, “she observed the listed suspect discharge a handgun several times, striking the victim before fleeing the scene.”
Police found Miller in an alley near where the shooting happened around 3 p.m. According to LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey, as officers approached Miller, he fired at them and police shot back.
Miller was taken to the hospital to be treated. No officers were hurt.
Humphrey said body-camera video will be released within 10 business days. LMPD’s Public Integrity Unit will investigate the shooting.
