The man who was killed in a shooting at a Lake Dreamland apartment complex late Wednesday in southwest Louisville has been identified.

Robert Biggers Jr., 18, of Louisville, died just after midnight at the complex at 4516 Broadleaf Drive, according to the Jefferson County Coroner's Office.

The deadly shooting is believed to have been in self-defense, according to police.

Louisville Metro Police spokesman Dwight Mitchell told the Courier Journal on Thursday that the case appeared to be a "self-defense situation." It will be turned over to the Commonwealth Attorney's Office as they investigate the incident and decide whether or not to bring charges.

LMPD received a call of a shooting just before midnight Wednesday in the 4500 block of Broadleaf Drive, according to a statement from Mitchell.

When officers arrived on the scene, they found Biggers Jr., who had died.

The LMPD Homicide Unit is investigating. A person of interest is being interviewed. No charges have been filed, Mitchell said.
