'It is sad': Neighbors shaken after man shot and killed in Russell neighborhood

LIVE IN THE STUDIO AND HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ARRESTS IN THIS CASE? JAMIE. WHAT’S GOING ON? RICK. THERE HAVEN’T. AND POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR A SUSPECT. NEIGHBORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS I SPOKE WITH SAY THEY’RE FED UP WITH THE VIOLENCE, AND THEY’RE HOPING MORE CAN BE DONE TO BRING PEACE TO THE CITY. ANYTIME A LOSS OF LIFE IS TAKEN, IT IS SAD. LET’S MEAN THERE’S SO MANY FAMILIES GRIEVING, CARR CREEK MOHAMMED SAYS HE KNOWS THE PAIN OF LOSING A LOVED ONE ALL TOO WELL. HE SAYS IN 1992, HIS BROTHER WAS SHOT AND KILLED ON THIS STREET IN THE RUSSELL NEIGHBORHOOD. SO WHEN HE HEARD THE CITY’S LATEST HOMICIDE HAPPENED ON THE SAME BLOCK, HE WAS DEVASTATED. WE ARE STEADY TAKING OUR LIVES, UNNECESSARY. POLICE SAY THEY WERE CALLED NEAR THE 2500 BLOCK OF WEST CHESTNUT AROUND MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY. A MAN HAD BEEN SHOT AND DIED AT THE SCENE. DOCTOR EDDIE WOODS IS THE CEO OF NO MORE RED DOTS. THEIR ORGANIZATION WORKS TO INTERVENE AND DE-ESCALATE VIOLENCE BEFORE AND AFTER A SHOOTING. THEY ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS FAMILIES, HE SAYS WHILE LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE, HE HOPES THE COMMUNITY CAN BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN MAKING THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS SAFER. WE’VE GOT TO TRAIN COMMUNITIES HOW TO DO FOR THEMSELVES A LITTLE BIT, HOW TO MAKE THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEIR SURROUNDINGS NOT AS FAVORABLE FOR SHOOTINGS TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE, ACCORDING TO THE LOUISVILLE METRO GUN VIOLENCE DASHBOARD. THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 120 NONFATAL SHOOTINGS AND 56 HOMICIDES IN THE METRO THIS YEAR, WOODS SAYS. PREVENTING GUN VIOLENCE MUST BE AN ONGOING EFFORT, WHICH REQUIRES CONTINUOUS INVESTMENT AND COLLABORATION FROM LEADERS AND NEIGHBORS. EVERYBODY’S GOT TO DO SOMETHING. WE GOT TO START TREATING IT LIKE, LIKE LIKE WE DID WITH CANCER, LIKE WE DID WITH, UH, SMOKING, YOU KNOW, ONCE EVERYBODY GOT BEHIND THAT, WE MADE SOME PROGRESS. WE MADE SOME MOVES, BUT UNTIL WE DO THAT, WE’RE JUST SPINNING OUR WHEELS. NOW, ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THIS LATEST SHOOTING OR OTHERS IN THE CITY IS ASKED TO REACH OUT TO LMPD’S.
