Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The Louisville Metro Police Department has officially charged a 21-year-old man with murder in connection to a fatal shooting that took place at the Greenwood boat ramp. The incident occurred around 3 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, resulting in the tragic death of one man and leaving another individual critically injured after seeking medical attention at a hospital through private means.
The victim, identified as Jayson Manookian, was fatally shot during the altercation. Following the incident, authorities arrested James Reece, also 21 years old, on Wednesday. Initially, Reece was charged with fleeing or evading police as he was believed to be driving the vehicle involved in the shooting. Reece and another man were apprehended after a pursuit.
Subsequent investigations led to Reece facing additional charges on Friday, including complicity to murder, complicity assault, complicity tampering with evidence, and possession of a handgun as a convicted felon. According to reports, Reece admitted to engaging in a verbal dispute with Manookian, which escalated over derogatory remarks. He claimed that the unidentified man in the car fired the fatal shots from the driver’s seat.
During the pursuit, Reece stated that the gunman discarded the handgun out of the car window. However, upon further questioning, the released individual implicated Reece as the one responsible for disposing of the weapon. As of now, law enforcement authorities have not been able to recover the firearm.
Appearing in court on Friday morning, Reece had his bond set at a staggering $1 million. He is scheduled to make another court appearance next month to address the charges brought against him.
