A Louisville man is charged with the murder of a woman at the Shawnee Park Drive boat ramp Sunday afternoon.
Michael Bullock, 27, was arrested Tuesday in connection to the shooting death of 32-year-old Rachel Hughes. Just before 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Louisville Metro Police were called to the Shawnee Park Drive boat ramp. Investigators said they found Hughes shot multiple times in a wooded area.
She died at the scene.
According to court documents, Bullock and Hughes were seen on surveillance video leaving a Bardstown Road business Sunday. Hughes’ mother, who said this week the two had been living together, said they were at the 247 Laundromat.
They then drove to the boat ramp in west Louisville, at which point surveillance cameras there captured them both getting out of the car. Police said Hughes was walking ahead of Bullock when he pulled out a handgun and fired eight times, shooting her twice in the head and six times in the neck and torso.
Police said Bullock then walked back to the car and left.
According to court documents, Bullock returned to the scene two times with someone else. Bullock and that unidentified co-defendant were seen grabbing Hughes’ body and dragging it into a nearby wooded area.
Police said Bullock is a convicted felon who is prohibited from possessing a handgun and is on federal probation.
He is charged with murder, robbery, abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
