On July 29, 2022, in Old Louisville, 48-year-old Torie Darnice Myers was found shot and killed inside a vehicle near the intersection of South Brook and East Kentucky streets around 6:30 a.m. Officers responding to reports of a double shooting discovered Myers deceased and a male victim, Matthew Frazier, shot multiple times in the middle of the street; Frazier was taken to University of Louisville Hospital in critical condition.

Court records show Jaaron McAtee was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Myers’ death and with attempted murder for the shooting of Frazier. Witnesses told police McAtee and Frazier had argued the night before the shootings. The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit is handling the investigation.

Myers was a mother, grandmother, sister and daughter, active in her community and involved with a motorcycle club. Her death was a notable loss to family and friends and added to the city’s homicide count that year. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to come forward.
