LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Three Louisville men were charged with murder in connection to the fatal shooting at this year's Harvest Homecoming festival in downtown New Albany.
Joshua Smith, Shermichael Smith, and their roommate, Darius Tuff, are all facing murder and several other charges in the death of Bryce Gerlach, 18, and wounding of two others, according to court records.
During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, officials said a fourth man has also been charged. Isaiah Page, of Simpsonville, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery and two counts of criminal recklessness.
A 22-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman were both shot in the leg and hospitalized. Police believe all three victims were innocent bystanders who were not related to the dispute that led to the shooting.
In court records unsealed Tuesday, police were called to the Oct. 12 festival after shots were fired in the "ride area."
Gerlach was found inside the ride area with a gunshot wound to his chest. He died at the scene.

If it were the city of Louisville proper, that could happen.
New Albany is a (mostly) red city though. About 70% for Trump IIRC, so justice will likely be provided in this situation.
I live half mile from his folks....my daughter had him in school....one of the good ones...over the past 5 years, I’ve hauled my grandkids from Corydon to school in west Louisville...the place is a hellhole...Memphis is a honest comparison
Sad story, neighbor.
