LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - The two people killed in a shooting and crash late Monday in Kentucky’s largest city were both juveniles, authorities said.
Adrain Maddox-Bell, 16, died of a gunshot wound and Jaden Maddox, 15, died of blunt force trauma from the crash, news outlets reported Tuesday, citing the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. Both teens were pronounced dead at the scene in Louisville.
The two were brothers, antiviolence activist Christopher 2X told the Courier-Journal, and their deaths marked the 99th and 100th homicides in Louisville this year.
Two others in the vehicle suffered gunshot wounds and were taken to the hospital in critical condition, police have said. Their identities have not been released.
The shooting and crash are under investigation, Louisville police spokeswoman Beth Ruoff said. No arrests have been made.
