LMPD looking for leads, suspects following 2022 restaurant shooting in NuLu

The suspects brazenly shot into the Seafood Lady restaurant on East Jefferson Street last March while people were inside dining.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Metro Police are asking for help in identifying suspects they said brazenly shot into a popular NuLu restaurant last year.

Police said three suspects began shooting throughout the windows of the Seafood Lady restaurant on East Jefferson Street on March 6, 2022.

The men, shown on surveillance video stills, were wearing dark clothing and teal-colored gloves. Two of the suspects had handguns while another was using a larger weapon.

Metro Police said they found a red vehicle used in the incident.

That restaurant shooting injured four people who were inside the restaurant.

Owner Nichelle Thurston said officers responded in under a minute that day. Since then, she said she's seen more officers making sure everything is safe.

"At first, for the first month or so, people were hesitant to come out, likewise when there’s a shooting anywhere people are hesitant about going to the area. But things are picking up for us, things are getting back to normal, which is part of the reason I want the community to know that this is a safe place to be," she said.

If you have any information on who these individuals may be or notice the red car, you are asked to call LMPD’s Anonymous Tip Line (502) 574-LMPD or the online Crime Tip Portal.
