LOUISVILLE, Ky (WDRB) -- A tourist in town for the Kentucky Derby was shot and killed near his hotel Saturday night. Police have charged three people in connection to 49-year-old Toronto resident Scott Hunter's murder.
Friends of Scott Hunter describe him as a great guy and a lively character, he was a bartender in downtown Toronto for nine years.
"We're trying to get our heads around it and trying to comprehend how something like this could happen," said Beau Opperman, Hunter's boss at House on Parliament and.
Opperman says Hunter was in Louisville with a friend to go to the Derby.
"He was down there to watch the race and was having a good time and last we heard he had texted or called his girlfriend and was having a great time and then his family contacted me Sunday morning and I can only imagine what they're going through,” he told WDRB by phone Monday.
Police say Hunter was killed when he and his friend were headed back to their hotel after Kentucky Derby.

Hang them. NOW!
I was just commenting to someone the other day of an episode of a program I saw on Investigation Discovery about a crime in which the person found guilty of a heinous murder died of cancer on death row after 21 years.
Basically allowed to live out their entire natural life despite being given the death penalty. Just outrageous.
