Body found during investigation into shooting
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Police discovered the body of a dead man in a Brandenburg home while investigating a shooting between two brothers in Louisville.
Louisville police arrested 43-year-old Jeffrey Lay after they say he shot his brother in the head on Wednesday evening. Lay was charged with attempted murder and his brother is recovering at a hospital.
Kentucky State Trooper Bruce Reeves told The Courier-Journal that during questioning, Lay told police about another shooting in Brandenburg.
Early Thursday morning, troopers found the body of another man, identified as 53-year-old Danny Embry, in Brandenburg. State police are investigating Embry’s death.
Lay was wanted on charges of second-degree robbery and second-degree escape from Louisville Metro Community Corrections Center, which houses people on work-release programs.
