Louisville Protester Travis Nagdy was shot
According to authorities, police received a call about shots fired, and when they arrived, they found Nagdy had been shot three times. Nagdy’s girlfriend, who had just gotten out of his car, told officers she had heard him arguing with man before the shooting.
LMPD found surveillance video that captured the incident while canvassing the neighborhood. In it, they saw a man approach Nagdy who was standing by his white Mazda CX-5. They argue before the man pulls out a gun and fires, according to the arrest affidavit.
The man, later identified as Ashton Nally, is seen getting into Nagdy’s car and speeding away.
It wasn’t long before Nally reportedly crashed the vehicle. He fled the scene, but he left something behind that would ultimately help lead to his arrest: a pair of broken glasses. An LMPD officer noticed one lens fell out during the crash.
The discovery of the glasses stood out to Nagdy’s girlfriend; she told officers they didn’t belong to Nagdy.
Authorities said they received several tips and obtained surveillance video which helped lead to Nally’s arrest.
Ashton Nally’s charges
Nally is facing a federal carjacking charge, which carries a maximum sentence of death, a fine of $250,000, and no more than three years of supervised release.
