The confrontation began on the Watterson Expressway and ended in a bank parking lot. On June 21, 2014, 57-year-old Danny Wilson was fatally shot in Louisville, Kentucky, in what authorities described as a road rage incident. The man charged in the death was Donald Hayes, a local hot dog vendor, who said Wilson shattered his car window with a baseball bat and that he fired one shot into Wilson’s vehicle, striking him in the head. Police later found a baseball bat between Wilson’s legs and forensic testimony confirmed glass from Hayes’s car window was embedded in that bat.

Hayes was arrested and initially released on a $10,000 bond; prosecutors later secured a $50,000 bond and he was returned to jail. A grand jury indicted Hayes on murder. At trial, Wilson’s wife Janet testified about his tendency to defend himself if threatened. Forensic witnesses described the firearm as designed for self-defense. Hayes testified that he fired after his window was shattered and said he did not know he had hit Wilson when he drove away.

Did anyone in Louisville see the incident or have records that place either vehicle at the scene?
