Police in Kentucky are searching for a suspect who shot a woman dead at a school bus stop.

It happened around 8 a.m. Wednesday, the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) said, adding on its Facebook page that a suspect was detained “but after being interviewed and reviewing more video, we determined this person was there but did not pull the trigger.”

The victim was identified by her family as Redaja Williams, 23, WLKY reported.

Police posted two pictures of someone in a red sweatshirt and dark sweatpants with dark shoes that investigators are looking to speak to. 

The child the woman was with was not injured. Several children were at the bus stop and witnessed the deadly shooting, WDRB reported. 

“It is unacceptable that people simply trying to go to school must fear for their safety,” LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey said, according to the TV station. 

“The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office will release the name of the victim once the next of kin has been properly notified,” a spokesperson for the department told Fox News Digital.
