On April 8, 2025, just before 5 a.m., three people were found shot to death inside a residence on Griffiths Avenue in the Portland neighborhood of Louisville. One of the victims was David Hillary Clark Jr., age 49, a Louisville native born March 20, 1976, who worked as a salvage collector and enjoyed fishing. The other victims were 37-year-old Mallory Cox and 37-year-old Robert Auter.

Louisville Metro Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an immediate investigation. Community tips—more than two dozen in all—focused attention on 29-year-old Cody Warf. He was located and arrested after a traffic stop in Floyd County, Indiana, where a gun was recovered. Warf, described in the report as a convicted felon with prior weapons and drug charges, was charged with three counts of murder and also faces charges of escape, giving false information, and fleeing police. Police said Warf and the victims were acquaintances; the motive and full circumstances leading up to the shooting were not disclosed.

Did anyone in the Portland neighborhood know David Clark Jr., Mallory Cox, or Robert Auter and notice anything unusual in the days before April 8?
