LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
Police are investigating after six people were injured following a shooting outside a motorcycle club in southwest Louisville.
According to Louisville Metro Police, officers were called out to the 1700 block of Berry Boulevard around 6 a.m. for reports of a shooting at the Str8 Ryderz motorcycle club.
When they got there, they found two women who had been shot. Their injuries were described a “non-fatal.”
Shortly after that, police said four additional women connected to that shooting arrived at UofL Hospital for treatment.
Originally, two of the women were being treated for gunshot wounds, while the other two were being treated for injuries unrelated to gunshots.
In an update Sunday afternoon, officials said the total number of victims remains six women, but five of them were now believed to have been shot.
One victim who was initially being treated for a head injury was later determined to have a graze wound.
Later, LMPD confirmed that at least four weapons were used during the shooting with approximately 90 spent rounds on the scene.
According to a statement from the Louisville Metro Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC), Str8 Ryderz is not a licensed establishment and illegal alcoholic beverages were found and removed from the location.
Around the same time the shooting occurred, officers with Shively Police responded to a deadly crash in the 3400 block of 7th Street Road, where two women in their 20s were killed.
Police said it’s unclear if the crash is connected to the shooting, but they added that there were “no obvious gunshot wounds” found on the victims. However, it’ll be up to the autopsy report to make any final determinations.
Shively Police are leading the investigation into the deadly crash, while LMPD’s Homicide, Non-Fatal Shooting and Traffic Units are working together to figure out if the two incidents may be related. ABC is leading an investigation into illegal alcoholic sales at the motorcycle club, and has sent the case to Metro Codes and Regulation for a “nuisance abatement review.”
Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call the anonymous tip line at (502)574-LMPD (5673) or utilize the online Crime Tip portal at LMPD Crime Tip Portal.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – Louisville Metro Police Department officers are investigating a shooting that occurred early this morning in the 1700 block of Berry Boulevard.
At approximately 6 a.m., Fourth Division officers responded to a motorcycle club in the 1700 block of Berry Blvd on reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located two adult female victims suffering from non-fatal gunshot wounds.
In the hours following the incident, four additional adult female victims connected to the incident arrived at UofL Hospital for treatment.
Five of those individuals sustained gunshot wounds, while one other suffered non-gunshot-related injuries.
At this time, the investigation identified a total of five non-fatal shooting victims and one additional injured individual related to the incident.
LMPD spokesperson Matt Sanders confirmed to WAVE that at least 90 rounds were fired based on shell casings collected by detectives both inside and outside what was described as a “large” scene. Based on the casings, police believe at least four weapons were used during the shooting.
Sanders also confirmed the address of the shooting to be 1740 Berry Boulevard.
Additionally, around the same time, Shively Police responded to a fatal single-vehicle collision in the 3400 block of 7th Street Road involving two deceased occupants. At this stage of the investigation, it is unknown whether the fatal collision is connected to the Berry Boulevard shooting incident.
There were no obvious gunshot wounds observed on the deceased occupants; however, final determinations will be made following autopsy results. Shively Police are leading the traffic fatality investigation at this time.
Louisville Metro Councilmember Shameka Parrish-Wright, whose district both scenes are in, provided the following statement to WAVE regarding the shooting and crash:
Louisville, my heart is with everyone impacted by the shooting and crash incidents this morning in southwest Louisville. Multiple women were injured in the shooting on Berry Boulevard, and two women lost their lives in the deadly crash on 7th Street Road. I am praying for the victims, their loved ones, first responders, hospital staff, and the entire community affected by this violence and tragedy. It is heartbreaking that this happened in my district, and I know these incidents require multifaceted solutions to prevent.
I always try to be thoughtful and responsible before speaking publicly while information is still developing, but this is another painful reminder that too many people in our city are living with trauma, instability, conflict, and unsafe conditions that can escalate into violence and loss.
Public safety is not just about policing or holding a press conference after tragedy strikes. It is also about prevention, mental health support, violence interruption, community investment, safe spaces, economic opportunity, transportation safety, and making sure people feel seen and supported before situations spiral.
I appreciate the work of LMPD, Shively Police, EMS, firefighters, hospital staff, and all emergency personnel responding and investigating these incidents. I also encourage anyone with information to cooperate with investigators.
Louisville deserves neighborhoods where people can gather, travel, work, and live without fear. We must continue working together to build a city rooted in safety, stability, accountability, healing, and opportunity for everyone. My office will continue following up as more information becomes available.
