Arrest in connection with Baxter Avenue shooting

A man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting Sunday morning in the Old Highlands neighborhood that left two other men dead.

Louisville Metro Police arrested 37-year-old Richie Raymont Williams on Thursday in connection with the death of 29-year-old Montay Wade in the Baxter Avenue shooting. He is charged with murder and possession of a handgun as a convicted felon and is currently being held at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.

In a statement, Louisville Metro City Councilman Ben Reno-Weber said police believe the incident was targeted and occurred in the presence of two off-duty uniformed police officers.

“The Metro Police believe that this was a targeted attack in the course of a longer-running conflict rather than an isolated incident that evening,” said Reno-Weber.
