LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Three Louisville men were charged with murder in connection to the fatal shooting at this year's Harvest Homecoming festival in downtown New Albany.
Joshua Smith, Shermichael Smith, and their roommate, Darius Tuff, are all facing murder and several other charges in the death of Bryce Gerlach, 18, and wounding of two others, according to court records.
During a press conference Tuesday afternoon, officials said a fourth man has also been charged. Isaiah Page, of Simpsonville, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery and two counts of criminal recklessness.
A 22-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman were both shot in the leg and hospitalized. Police believe all three victims were innocent bystanders who were not related to the dispute that led to the shooting.
In court records unsealed Tuesday, police were called to the Oct. 12 festival after shots were fired in the "ride area."
Gerlach was found inside the ride area with a gunshot wound to his chest. He died at the scene.

Story update:
Another example of democratic inner city crime. Typical rap-drug-single mother culture young males. They go to a crowded public venue full of families. Then get angry and open fire with their stolen or drug money bought pistols and spray bullets.
An 18 year old HS senior athlete catches one in the chest, but at least they have arrests and more coming.
