A Louisville man died after being shot in the early hours of Easter Sunday. Bryant Johnson, 35, was shot on Bardstown Road at about 3:30 a.m. He managed to drive a short distance before his vehicle crashed at Bardstown Road and Baxter Avenue. Officers found him in his car with a gunshot wound; he was taken to University of Louisville Hospital and died shortly after 4 a.m. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office determined the cause was multiple gunshot wounds. The other driver involved in the collision did not suffer serious injuries.
