Coroner identifies 24-year-old man killed in drive-by shooting in Jeffersontown

GUNS FIRED OUTSIDE HER APARTMENT. THE WOMAN WE TALKED TO SAID THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. FIRST THERE WAS AN ARGUMENT, AND THEN TEN MINUTES LATER SHE HEARD GUNS FIRED. THERE WERE JUST A FEW PEOPLE ARGUING, AND I JUST TURNED AROUND, BECAUSE I THOUGHT, MINDE MY BUSINESS. AND I WENT INTO CHANGE. AND WHILE I WAS CHANGING, I HEARD FOUR BANGS, AND THEY COME ONE AFTER THE OTHER. JUST A FEW MINUTES LATER, JASMINE LUDWIG CAME BACK FROM THE POOL WITH HER CHILDREN. AROUND 8 P.M. ON TUESDAY NIGHT, A PARKING LOT AT THEIR APARTMENT COMPLEX IN J-TOWN AT PALMETTO CIRCLE TURNED INTO A CRIME SCENE. AND I COME BACK HERE, AGAIN THROUGH. AND, UM, THERE’S A GIRL. SHE’S ON THE GROUND. SHE’S SCREAMING, SHE’S CRYING, AND I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE A CAR IS BLOCKING THE VICTIM. BUT I JUST SAW HER CRYING AND SCREAMING. A MAN WAS DISTURBED AND A WOMAN WAS INJURED. POLICE SAY THE TWO VICTIMS WERE SHOT WHILE SITTING IN A CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. IT WAS REALLY SURREAL AND SAD. AND IT WAS JUST TO SEE ALL THE PEOPLE COME OUT AND THEN ALL THE TAPE WAS PUT UP AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THEY COVERED THE VICTIM. THAT’S A REAL MOMENT. I WAS REMINDING HER THAT THE VIOLENCE HAPPENED VERY CLOSE TO HER HOME WHEN I WENT UP TO HER TO CHECK ON HER AS THE COPS WERE ADVANCED, UM, YOU COULD SEE THE BULLET HOLES THROUGH THE CAR WINDOW AND THAT’S WHEN I BACKED BACK FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE COPS WERE JUST ADVANCED. IT’S JUST, YOU KNOW, IT WAS JUST WAY TOO CLOSE. AND WHILE THE POLICE CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR ANSWERS AS TO WHO DID THIS, SO ARE SOME OF THE APARTMENT COMPLEXES. RECENT RESIDENTS. MY CHILD WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND SAID I’M SORRY SOMEONE DIED LAST NIGHT. AND I SAY ME TOO, DUDE. ME TOO. THIS SHOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED
