(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) -- A teenager has been arrested in the 2025 fatal shooting of three people outside of a DMV in Kentucky. Another shooter remains at large, police said. <\/p>

The unnamed teen, who was 17 years old at the time of the murders, has been charged with three counts of murder complicity, five counts of first-degree wanton endangerment and receiving stolen property, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department. <\/p>

The teen is now 19 years old, according to police. <\/p>

The teen was identified as one of the three shooters after police used a DNA profiles obtained from a stolen vehicle to tie him to the killings, according to the LMPD. <\/p>

Investigators believe a second shooter was killed in a separate incident and said they are working to identify the third shooter.<\/p>

The February 2025 shooting happened outside the Driver's License Regional office in Valley Station, Kentucky, according to LMPD. <\/p>

The three shooters allegedly approached a line of people standing in line to go into the DMV and opened fire toward the line, fatally shooting three people, Louisville Metro Police Department Lt. Les Skaggs said at a press conference Thursday. <\/p>

Leslye Harbin Jr., 18, died at the scene while his mother, 33-year-old Antwanette Chillers, and another victim, 29-year-old Raysa Valdes, were taken to a hospital where they died, Skaggs said.<\/p>

The three shooters fled the scene of the shooting in a vehicle, Skaggs said.<\/p>

LMPD marked vehicles were parked near the scene while officers were at a business next door, according to Skaggs. By the time the officers reached the scene the suspects had fled, Skaggs said. <\/p>

Shortly after the shooting, police identified a suspect vehicle, enabling them to track the vehicle\u2019s movements. Investigators were able to recover the vehicle the same day, police said. <\/p>

The vehicle was stolen from a dealership, but the dealership had not noticed the vehicle was missing until after the shooting had occurred, according to Skaggs. It had been stolen several days before the shooting, he said. <\/p>

Investigators obtained evidence from the vehicle, which was sent to DNA Labs International. DNA Labs International was able to get several DNA profiles from inside the vehicle, Skaggs said. <\/p>

In the last 17 months, detectives have written and served around 50 search warrants to obtain evidence that helped them identify the individual arrested Wednesday, Skaggs said. <\/p>

The DNA profiles have also helped investigators identify other people who may be involved in the murder, Skaggs said. <\/p>

One possible suspect identified by the DNA profile has since been murdered in a separate incident, police said.<\/p>

Police are still working to identify the third suspect in this incident. <\/p>
