On the morning of Tuesday, May 16, 2017, 23-year-old Austin Borders was fatally shot at a residence on Ronan Drive in the Pleasure Ridge Park neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville Metro Police found two people with gunshot wounds when they arrived; Borders was pronounced dead at the scene. He did not live at the Ronan Drive home.

Authorities arrested 36-year-old Barry Barger after finding him in the yard of the residence. An arrest report says Barger admitted shooting Borders and then turned the gun on himself in an apparent suicide attempt; Barger survived and was charged with murder. Law enforcement has not released details about a motive or the circumstances that led to the shooting.

Borders was remembered by his family as kind-hearted and is survived by his mother, his son, and several siblings. Does anyone have information about what happened that morning or knew Borders and can help fill in the gaps?
