\nA man wanted on a manslaughter charge after causing the death of a motorcyclist seven months ago is now in custody.<\/p>\n
Damorion Murrell, 18, was a juvenile at the time.<\/p>\n
According to reports, Murrell was involved in a carjacking with three other people in the Parkland neighborhood on June 17, 2023. The next day, around 4:30 p.m. June 18, the vehicle taken in the carjacking is believed to have been involved in a drive-by shooting on Finzer Street.<\/p>\n
After the shooting, the stolen vehicle stopped working and the four people inside the car fled.<\/p>\n
The arrest report says while Murrell was running away, he ran into the path of a motorcycle that was traveling on South Preston Street. Murrell was hit by the motorcycle, but the motorcyclist was ejected.<\/p>\n
The motorcyclist, 42 year-old Dana M. Kustes of Louisville, later died from her injuries at UofL Hospital.<\/p>\n
Police reports say Murrell and the three others involved were seen running away from the scene with handguns.<\/p>\n
In addition to manslaughter, Murrell is facing charges of receiving stolen property, wanton endangerment, and possession of a handgun by a minor.<\/p>\n
Murrell was arraigned Tuesday in the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections Courtroom in a separate case for enhanced possession of marijuana. A not guilty plea was entered for Murrell and he was ordered not to be in possession of any weapons and to have no new violations of the law.<\/p>\n
Bond was set at $2,500 cash in the drug case. If bond is posted, Murrell will be placed into the home incarceration program.
