\nTwo men were charged Monday in connection with a July shooting in Louisville\u2019s Newburg neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police said 21 year-old Da\u2019Ron Jones turned himself Monday evening. He is charged with complicity to assault in the first and second degree, wanton endangerment and robbery.<\/p>\n
Cayden Blakey, 20, was also arrested Monday evening. He faces the same charges.<\/p>\n
The arrests come nearly four months after the July 8 shooting on East Indian Trail. A third man, 19-year-old Gabriel Eduardo Rodriguez, was previously arrested in connection with the case.<\/p>\n
According to arrest citations, Rodriguez met Jones and Blakey for a firearm transaction before the shooting. Rodriguez got into their vehicle, where one of the men pulled a handgun and told him to leave his money behind.<\/p>\n
Police said Rodriguez left about $600 in the vehicle before returning to his car. Police said Jones and Blakey then drove away.<\/p>\n
Later that evening, a man and woman were driving along East Indian Trail when they passed a vehicle engulfed in flames. Both told police they heard a loud bang before realizing they had been shot.<\/p>\n
The man suffered a graze wound to his right arm, while the woman was shot in the head. Court records said the bullet could not be removed and remains permanently lodged in her skull.<\/p>\n
Both were taken to UofL Hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
Police later found the vehicle involved in the shooting near the 4900 block of Poplar Level Road. Investigators identified Jones and Blakey as its occupants, according to the citations.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez was previously identified as the driver of a second vehicle involved in the shooting. He was charged with complicity to first- and second-degree assault, two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and receiving a stolen firearm.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez pleaded not guilty and posted a partially secured $25,000 bond. As part of his release, he is prohibited from possessing weapons or contacting the victims and witnesses.<\/p>\n
Jones and Blakey were arraigned Tuesday morning, where a judge set a $100,000 bond for both men.
