From [HERE] The man shot by a Louisville Metro Police Detective Tuesday night is asking "why me?"

On Tuesday Ishmael Gough, 22, and his attorney, Derek O'Bryan said Gough committed no crime in his encounter with police.
  O'Bryan said Gough was driving and was just a block from home when he noticed he was being tailed. Gough pulled over and that's when Detective Chauncey Carthan in plain clothes, an unmarked car without sirens or police lights approached his vehicle.

"He did stop his car. Detective Carthan got out of his care.  My client complied with his orders," O'Bryan said, "My client begged not to be shot and he was shot in the street. I can tell you that my client was unarmed and that he hasn't been charged with any crimes and I don't believe he was the subject of any ongoing investigation by the detective."

In response to reports of an altercation between Gough and the detective, "There was a confrontation to the extent that my client was an unarmed civilian on the street and that he was shot by a police officer. I can tell you that he was no way the aggressor in this situation. " O'Bryan also says it was a passerby that called 911. When officers arrived Police Chief Steve Conrad said on Thursday that they performed tests to determine if Carthan was intoxicated.  

Gough was treated and released for the gunshot wound to his thigh but is uninsured and unable to start a new job that he was scheduled to begin the next day. O'Bryan says he'll be seeking resolution with LMPD, Metro Government and the Detective.

Carthan's attorney has not commented on camera but says he looks forward to all the facts coming out in the case.
