LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville Metro Police are investigating after two people died in Louisville Thursday afternoon.
According to LMPD, officers responded to the 5200 block of Mars Court near Sky Blue Avenue around 6 p.m.
Mars Court is in the PRP neighborhood.
When they arrived, police said officers found 19-year-old Darrin Hailey who had been fatally shot. He died at the scene.
Later, another man with gunshot wounds, 19-year-old Jadon Anderson, went to St. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital by private means according to police. They said he also died.

"It's very difficult. I mean, anytime there's a loss of life, it's, it's very horrible situation," he said. "Every time I'm giving one of these interviews, it does leave a knot in my stomach, you know, you know, it's not something that we want to be doing it all."
