The Louisville Metro Police Department opened an investigation and appealed to the public for information. No arrests were made immediately, and there have been no public reports identifying suspects in the case. If anyone knew Scotty Scott, was in the Riverside Gardens area that afternoon, or has information that could help, please come forward.
