Officials in Laurel County have identified a suspect in the shooting near Exit 49 on Interstate 75 that occurred Saturday night.

The Laurel County Sheriff’s Department is looking for 32-year-old Joseph A. Couch in connection with the shooting, the agency said in a social media post. The department asked anyone with information or the suspect’s whereabouts to call the London-Laurel County 911 Center.

Officials first reported the shooting on social media at 6:36 p.m. In a phone call with The Courier Journal around 7:40 p.m., Kentucky State Police spokesman Scottie Pennington said investigators “have no idea where the man is.”

According to Pennington, there are an estimated four to six victims in the shooting. However, no additional information about the victims has been released.
