Photos discovered online show Sturgeon looking to be a normal 25-year-old with family members and friends - leaving questions behind his motives.

Sturgeon was described by a friend and former teammate from high school as smart, popular, and a star athlete in high school track, football, and basketball, The Daily Beast reported.

Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel Gwinn-Villaroel said Sturgeon was live streaming when he opened fire with a rifle at about 8.38am in the Old National Bank Building.

The death toll rose from four to five late Monday.

Cops found nine victims injured at the scene, including two police officers.

Sturgeon is now dead after he and cops exchanged gunfire, Gwinn-Villaroel said.

It is unclear if the police shot him or if he shot himself.

Old National Bank employees that were killed include senior vice president Tommy Elliott, 63, market executive Jim Tutt, 64, senior vice president of commercial real estate Josh Barrick, 40, and commercial banking agent Juliana Farmer, 57.

Facebook has completely removed the livestream of the shootings from its platform, Meta said in a statement.

It said Facebook “quickly removed the livestream of this tragic incident this morning.”

SHOOTER'S HOME SEARCHED

Following the shooting, federal and local officers blocked off Sturgeon's street to search his home and speak to his neighbors to look for any clues.

Neighbor Kami Cooper explained she didn't know him but said: “I’m almost speechless. You see it on the news but not at home," Associated Press reported.

“It’s unbelievable, it could happen here, somebody on my street.”

Officers were seen in recent photos leaving Sturgeon's house with bags full of evidence, per Fox affiliate WDRB in Louisville.
