Louisville inmate faces new charges tied to September 2025 Southside Drive shooting, court records show

New criminal counts filed while suspect remains in jail

A Louisville man already being held at Louisville Metro Corrections is now facing additional criminal charges connected to a shooting that occurred in September 2025 in the city’s Southside area, according to court and jail records reviewed by the Louisville.news newsroom.

The suspect, identified as Eduardo Alemaniza-Aguirre Sr., 51, was previously arrested in December 2025 and booked into Louisville Metro Corrections. He was initially charged in connection with the Sept. 17, 2025 shooting reported in the 6600 block of Southside Drive.

What investigators have said about the September incident

The shooting was reported on Sept. 17, 2025 at a commercial location along Southside Drive. Police responding to the scene located a man who had been shot in a business parking lot. The victim was transported to UofL Hospital with injuries described at the time as not life-threatening.

Publicly available case materials do not describe a motive. They also do not indicate whether investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an argument, a targeted encounter, or another circumstance. The victim’s identity has not been released in the publicly accessible summaries reviewed.

Timeline of the case

• Sept. 17, 2025: Shooting reported in the 6600 block of Southside Drive; one victim taken to the hospital.

• Dec. 2025: Alemaniza-Aguirre is arrested and booked into Louisville Metro Corrections; initial charges include assault and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

• Early March 2026: Additional charges are filed while the suspect remains incarcerated, expanding the prosecution’s allegations tied to the September 2025 shooting.

What “additional charges” can mean procedurally

In Jefferson County criminal cases, added counts often reflect developments that occur after an initial arrest—such as further review of evidence, witness statements, medical documentation, or a charging decision following presentation to prosecutors. Additional charges can also result when investigators conclude that initial allegations do not fully account for conduct described in police and medical records.

Charges are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

What remains unknown

As of Thursday, March 5, 2026, the publicly available summaries reviewed do not provide a full description of the newly added counts, nor do they include detailed probable-cause narratives. Louisville.news will continue monitoring court filings for updates on the amended charging document, upcoming hearings, and whether the case proceeds toward indictment, plea negotiations, or trial scheduling.
