Richmond Police are investigating what led to three people being shot on Tuesday. The Madison County Coroner said 57-year old Steve Thomas Martin was killed in the shooting, and police are not looking for any suspects.
The triple shooting happened Tuesday afternoon, just before 1 p.m. on Jason Drive in Richmond.

“It was blocked off with tape, police cars everywhere, the coroner van sitting there,” said Allison Thomas, who lives two doors down from the apartment where the shooting occurred.
Thomas described the troubling sight that greeted her, as she came home to find a bullet in her couch, and several inside her neighbor’s apartment.
“Had he been standing at his kitchen sink, he would have been shot,” said Thomas. “It is scary, very scary.”
So scary, the EKU student wanted to stay anonymous. He said he was napping when gunfire woke him, and bullets flew into his apartment.
“About six or seven gun shots. At first I didn’t know what it was. But, I could tell after I heard the last one, it actually broke my coffee maker,” said the young man.
The gunfire was happening inside the apartment next door, where the coroner said Steve Martin was killed, and police said another man was shot in the head.
“He was actually on the front porch, the police were giving him first aid. He was shot in the head, there was a lot of blood,” said the EKU student. “You could tell, he was alive, talking, responding to the officers.”
The man who was shot in the head was taken to UK Hospital, and on Tuesday night his condition was unknown. Police said they found a woman who had been shot in the foot, driving away in her car. Neighbors said she lives in this same unit.
“I am kind of in shock. I know a young couple moved in two months ago,” said Thomas.
Investigators said all three people are somehow connected, but won’t specify what their relationships are, or what this shooting was about. Richmond Police are continuing to investigate, but it’s not clear if anyone will face charges. Neighbors said they have their theories.
“The only thing I could think is domestic, because I don’t really think there was any drug activity going on,” said Thomas.
The Madison County Coroner said an autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
