Louisville Metro Police are investigating the city's 42nd murder of the
year, after a man was gunned down early Sunday morning in the West End.
Just after midnight, someone opened fire, shooting 33-year-old Dewhon
McAfee on South 28th Street. McAfee survived for several hours before
dieing at University Hospital around 9:30 a.m.
According to police, McAfee was outside of his apartment when a fight
broke out, possibly over a woman. Several shots were fired — one witness
reported hearing as many as nine.
McAfee had a 23-page arrest record with many violent charges.
This is the second murder in Louisville this week. Early Saturday
morning, 51-year-old Michael Williams allegedly stabbed 63-year-old
Willie Whitaker during a fight outside of his home in the 2700 block of
W. Jefferson.
