\nAdrian King has pled guilty and been sentenced to 30 years in prison for the 2024 death of 15-year-old Dovia Pernell.<\/p>\n
Records list a conviction for murder (domestic violence) and multiple sex-crime counts, including promoting a sexual performance by a minor under 16 and distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor.<\/p>\n
Pernell was shot and killed on January 29, 2024, in front of an apartment building across from the Park DuValle Community Center.<\/p>\n
On the following Monday, February 5, 2024, Louisville police announced that they had arrested King.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, Pernell and King were involved in a relationship.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video showed King walking toward Pernell\u2019s home with a handgun, and then the two walking back to his home.<\/p>\n
A short time later in the video, King is seen walking without Pernell before a 911 call was made.<\/p>\n
Court documents said King posted on social media saying that he was going to kill her. Police said he also posted explicit videos of the two together.<\/p>\n
New court documents indicate 22 year-old Adrian D. King entered guilty pleas on July 2 in the case.<\/p>\n
The judgment indicates his sentences will run concurrently.<\/p>\n
King\u2019s bond was previously set at $750,000 cash, and the court record notes concerns about community safety and flight risk.
