Louisville Metro Police are now investigating their third homicide in twenty-four hours.

Saturday night around 11:30 police say a gunman walked into Big Don's Barber Shop on South 36th Street and opened fire, killing 37-year-old Donald Boyd.

Several other people in the building were not injured in the shooting. Authorities say they don't have a suspect for the shooting at this time but are talking to witnesses.

The overnight homicide follows two more in Louisville Saturday.

Police say the body of a man in his 30's was found at the Plymouth Court apartments in the Russell neighborhood around 3:15 Saturday afternoon. The body was found inside a vehicle. Police are now trying to determine how long the truck and body had been there.

In the second homicide Saturday, a 19-year-old is charged with the murder of a homeless man. Police say Joshua Terry told University Hospital workers he had assaulted someone. Police then found the body of 50-year-old John Patrick Brady in a grassy area at Floyd and Broadway.
