Officer Involved Shooting Suspect Won't Drop the Gun. Louisville Metro Police Department Dec 8, 2023

Louisville Metro Police Department released new body camera footage detailing a police shooting that occurred on On December 8 near Churchill Downs involving Marvin Smith, aged 28, who was shot by Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) officer Sgt. Joshua Arnwine after he failed to comply with orders to drop his weapon following a traffic stop evasion.

The investigation commenced around the BP lot situated at 7th Street Road and Berry Boulevard, where detectives from the Criminal Investigations Division were conducting surveillance. They were targeting a known suspect reportedly seen entering and exiting the store with a handgun, suspected of involvement in drug sales. However, it wasn't confirmed if this suspect was Marvin Smith.

Subsequently, a traffic stop was initiated near S. 4th Street and Central Avenue, close to Wagner's, around 9:15 p.m., involving Smith as the passenger of the vehicle. Smith emerged from the vehicle holding a pistol with an extended magazine and fled the traffic stop. He initially ran southbound on 4th St. and then proceeded eastbound adjacent to Wagner's.

Sgt. Joshua Arnwine repeatedly instructed Smith to drop his gun, issuing the command over 15 times, which Smith consistently disregarded.

Officers fired at Smith after which he stumbled and fell. Despite being urged to surrender and not retrieve the weapon, Smith picked up his gun and aimed it in the direction of officers. The bodycam footage indicated that Smith's pistol had a "weapon-mounted light," providing a clear indication of the pistol's direction.

The incident solely involved Sgt. Arnwine, as evident from the bodycam footage capturing his interaction with Smith and subsequent firing of his weapon.

Following the shooting, Smith rose to flee, leaving his weapon behind, but officers apprehended him a short distance away. Immediate life-saving aid was administered, and Smith was rushed to UofL Hospital, where he is reportedly in good condition.

Smith faces multiple charges, including wanton endangerment of an officer, receiving stolen property of a firearm, traffic and controlled substances (meth, cocaine, and fentanyl), elevated due to the firearm, and first-degree fleeing and evading. He had previous charges related to drug trafficking, including fentanyl, cocaine, opioids, meth, and marijuana.
