Marc Markie Morgan, 38, was shot in the chest during an altercation at a mobile home park in the 2400 block of Autumn Lake Drive in Louisville on January 6, 2016. He was taken to University Hospital and died of his injuries; his death was reported as the city’s first homicide of the year.

Police quickly identified and arrested 20-year-old Austin Patton the day after the shooting at a hotel. Authorities say Patton admitted involvement, admitted fleeing the scene and attempting to sell the weapon. Patton was charged with murder, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, pleaded not guilty at his initial appearance and was held on $250,000 bond. The two men were said to have known one another before the incident.

If anyone has information about the events at the Autumn Lake Drive mobile home park or knew Marc Morgan, please come forward to local investigators.
