Still no arrests in Lexington mass shooting, nearby businesses sticking together

It has been just over two months since the mass shooting on National Avenue in Lexington that left five injured and one person dead.

Lexington Police are still investigating and following up on any leads. So far, no arrests have been made.

Shelby Noelscher’s family owns Zeigler Stained Glass, just a few doors down from where the shooting took place.

“I would say the businesses here and the people here, it’s a pretty tight knit community,” says Noelscher. “We all look out for each other and help each other out whenever we need it.”

Just after midnight on Aug. 9, police say six people were shot, and one person, 31-year-old Antoine Clay, died at the hospital. The building’s owner, who had recently installed cameras, says the shooter got out of a vehicle and shot through an open garage bay door into a crowd of people.

Sydney says she learned what had happened after getting a phone call from her brother.

“He’s a firefighter for Lexington Fire. He’s like, hey there was a shooting on your street, where the business is. So we heard about it that morning and then we saw it on the news later that day,” explains Noelscher.
