Louisville Metro police officers responded to a call in the 500 block of South Fourth Street at around 7 a.m. The area was cordoned off as investigators worked to piece together the events that led to Walker’s tragic death. A woman was also injured in the shooting and was admitted to UofL Hospital for treatment.
