A $1 million bond was set Wednesday for a man charged with fatally shooting a mother and her 14-year-old daughter Tuesday in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood
Officers were called to the 3900 block of Miami Avenue about 10:15 a.m. on a report of “persons down,” Louisville Metro Police spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said in a statement. That is near Bank Street and North 39th Street.
Police found the two victims shot to death at the scene and said the incident appeared to be domestic.
Tobias Malone, 24, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder, domestic violence, and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
According to an arrest citation, Malone gave a statement after being mirandized, admitting to the shooting. He also admitted to destroying a cellphone belonging to one of the victims and throwing the gun he used in the shooting out of a car window.
In court Wednesday, Malone showed no emotion. He pleaded not guilty and his bond was set at $1 million. Malone is expected to appear in court next Thursday, June 11, for a preliminary hearing.
