Jose D. Hernandez, 38, was fatally shot on July 4, 2020 in Louisville’s Newburg neighborhood after a dispute that began as a verbal argument.

The other man, 28-year-old Tyrin Currington, survived with injuries described as not life-threatening.

Accounts say the confrontation escalated when Currington allegedly drew a gun and pointed it at Hernandez’s head. A struggle over the weapon followed, during which Currington reportedly gained control and shot Hernandez. Hernandez then allegedly produced a firearm and shot Currington in the shoulder and side.

Tyrin Currington was arrested and charged with murder the morning after the shooting. If anyone knew Hernandez or witnessed the incident on Alba Way that night, please share information that could help fill in what happened.
