UPDATE: This report previously stated that the suspect was wearing a Breonna Taylor shirt, but it was Colin Kaepernick, according to reports. His social media accounts did have discussions of Breonna Taylor, however, and clear support for BLM.
A black male walked into a Louisville bar and shot three random people at point blank range on Friday night.
The suspect was smiling from ear to ear as he was arrested for the shooting at Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Grill.
Michael E. Rhynes Jr., 33, was arrested just after midnight Saturday after police found him crawling in brush near the restaurant, according to a report from WDRB.
“Nobody had ever seen this guy before,” the owner of the bar, Joe Bishop told WDRB, referring to the shooter. “It was a totally random act.” He explained that the men did not exchange words at any time prior to the shooting.
Two of the victims were white and one was black.
Toreon Jermaine Hudson, 26, and William Scott Smallwood, 48, were pronounced dead at the scene, while Steven Matthew Head, 24, died from his injuries at University Hospital.
One of the victims was the fiancé of the bar manager and all three of the men worked together.
