A man is dead after a weekend shooting in downtown Lexington. Police haven’t made any arrests in the case and that brings the number of homicides this year to 18.
So far, eleven of those cases have resulted in an arrest. The shooting on North Limestone on Nov. 16 around 9 p.m. closed roadways from Rosemary Avenue to areas around New Circle Road.
One person who lives in the area described the moment shots rang out: “We heard gunshots going boom boom boom boom boom.”
On scene, crews told us about visible bullet holes in the window of a building. One was in the upper level of a church. Also in the area, there was shattered glass at an event and reception facility.
The person we spoke with who did not want to be shown on camera described the chaos: “I saw two people laying in the parking lot across the street and one of the ladies was hollering, ‘somebody save my baby, somebody call the police, please.'”
According to Lexington Police, one person was treated at the scene for a minor injury. Police found one man shot and after he was aken to the hospital, he died from his injuries.
