On the morning of April 8, 2025, 37-year-old Mallory Cox was found dead of gunshot wounds inside a residence in the 2200 block of Griffiths Avenue in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood. Two other people in the home, 49-year-old David H. Clark Jr. and 37-year-old Robert M. Auter, were also shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Officers from Louisville Metro Police responded to a shooting call just before 5 a.m.

The Louisville Metro Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation. Initially there were no suspects, but investigators appealed to the public and received numerous tips. On April 12, 2025, 29-year-old Kody Warf was arrested after a vehicle pursuit in which he crashed into a detective’s car and another parked vehicle, then tried to flee on foot. A search of his vehicle reportedly turned up a stolen gun and ammunition manufacturing materials.

Warf was charged with three counts of murder in the deaths of Cox, Clark and Auter, along with additional charges including possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, fleeing police and receiving stolen property. Did anyone in the Portland neighborhood see or hear anything that night that could help investigators further?
