Police in Georgetown, Kentucky, are continuing to investigate a shooting incident and are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying two persons of interest believed to be connected to the case. The investigation has prompted an increased law enforcement presence as detectives work to determine the circumstances surrounding the reported gunfire.
According to the Georgetown Police Department, officers responded to a report of a shooting in the area of River Chase Path. When officers arrived, they were unable to immediately locate either the suspected shooter or a victim. Investigators quickly secured the area and began interviewing witnesses while searching for evidence related to the incident.
Police initially released a description of a young Black male with braids believed to be involved in the incident and identified a black Dodge Charger with red stripes as a vehicle of interest. Authorities have since located the vehicle and detained one individual in connection with the investigation. Detectives, however, continue searching for two additional persons of interest who were last seen fleeing the area on foot.
Investigators describe one of the outstanding individuals as having a slim build and wearing a blue T-shirt, dark pants, and slide-style sandals, with medium-length braids. The second individual is also described as having a slim build and was reportedly wearing a black T-shirt and light-colored sweatpants. Police have advised the public not to approach either individual and instead contact law enforcement immediately with any information regarding their whereabouts.
At this stage, authorities have not released information regarding injuries or a possible motive for the shooting. Detectives continue to gather evidence, review surveillance footage, and interview witnesses as they work to establish exactly what occurred. The investigation remains active, and additional information is expected as it develops.
The Georgetown Police Department is urging anyone with information about the shooting or the identities of the remaining persons of interest to contact dispatch at (502) 863-7820 or submit anonymous tips through the Tip411 system. Officials emphasize that community assistance could be critical in advancing the investigation and ensuring those responsible are identified.
Residents are encouraged to avoid speculation while the investigation is ongoing and to rely on updates provided by the Georgetown Police Department. Authorities have stated that more information will be released as detectives continue their investigation into the shooting.
