Do you know who murdered Anthony Griffin? In the early evening of a Wednesday in Louisville's south end, the sound of gunshots shattered the day's calm. Responding to calls, police arrived at the 1100 block of Carlisle Avenue, near Taylor Boulevard, around 5:45 p.m. to a grim scene. Inside a gold Buick parked on the street, officers discovered a man who had been shot.
The man was identified as 33-year-old Anthony Griffin of Louisville. He was rushed to University Hospital, but his injuries were too severe.
At 6:06 p.m., just over twenty minutes after the shooting, Anthony Griffin, a male, was pronounced dead from his gunshot wounds. The incident was one of two homicides that occurred in the city within a three-hour span that evening, unsettling residents.
Neighbors in the ordinarily quiet area, a place more accustomed to the sounds of children playing, were shocked by the brazen violence that had unfolded in broad daylight. Police began an immediate investigation, canvassing the neighborhood for any clues that might lead them to the person responsible for Griffin's death. As of that evening, the shooter remained at large, and authorities were actively searching for the suspect.
