In the early morning hours of October 2, 2023, two people were found shot to death inside an apartment at the Douglas Park apartments in south Louisville. The victims were 55-year-old Miguel A. Ricardo and his 17-year-old grandson, Giovanni Rodriguez. Emergency medical services pronounced both dead at the scene after Louisville Metro Police responded to a call just before 4 a.m.

Officers encountered 40-year-old Yunior Rodriguez Ricardo, Miguel’s son and Giovanni’s father, near the apartment doorway. He was taken into custody and later admitted to shooting both victims. A handgun believed to be the weapon was recovered. Charges announced included two counts of murder, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, and tampering with physical evidence; court filings noted a past homicide-related charge from 2013 that resulted in a manslaughter plea.

During arraignment a not guilty plea was entered on Yunior’s behalf, a translator was used, and the judge ordered a mental health evaluation. Does anyone have information about the family or that Douglas Park area the night of October 1–2?
