A 29 year-old man is in custody and facing murder charges after a triple homicide in the Portland neighborhood in early April, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department.
Kody Warf is charged with three counts of murder.
Just before 5 a.m. on April 8, Louisville Metro Police officers responded to a shooting in the 2200 block of Griffiths Avenue, according to a Louisville Metro Police Department news release.
Officers on the scene found two men and one woman inside a home suffering from gunshot wounds. EMS declared them deceased shortly after.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victims as 37-year-old Mallory Cox, 49-year-old David H. Clark Jr. and 37-year-old Robert M. Auter.
According to Louisville Metro Police Department, Warf was arrested on April 12 when officers spotted his car in the 1700 block of Hill Street in the Algonquin neighborhood.
At the time, Warf also had a felony bench warrant out of Floyd County, Indiana.
When detectives turned on their lights and sirens to stop him, Warf sped away.
While driving away from the detectives, Warf crashed into one of their cars and another parked car in the area, causing serious damage to both vehicles.
According to the arrest citation, damage to both cars is estimated at over $1,000.
After the crash, Warf got out of the car and attempted to run away but was later detained.
When officers conducted a search of his car, they found a stolen gun and other items used to manufacture ammunition, according to an arrest citation.
During the arrest, Warf provided police with a fake name and birthdate. He was also driving with a suspended license and no proof of insurance.
After being placed in handcuffs, Warf tried to run from police a second time but was later detained, according to the arrest citation.
In addition to three counts of murder, Warf is also facing charges for possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, fleeing police, criminal mischief, escape in the 3rd degree, providing false information to police, receiving stolen property and operating a vehicle on a suspended license.
