A domestic dispute in Lexington, Kentucky, turned fatal on August 20, 2024, when 24-year-old DaQuan Collins was shot on Delaware Avenue. Collins, a father of three, had been living with the mother of his children, Julia Winburn, though they were separated; prior incidents of violence between them had been reported to police.

A verbal altercation between Ramos and Collins moved into the driveway, where Ramos shot Collins three times. Ramos called 911 and said he acted in self-defense and that Collins had threatened him with a gun.

Investigators reported that home surveillance footage did not show Collins running toward a vehicle to retrieve a weapon, that Collins was unarmed when shot, and that no firearm was found in his car. A handgun loaded with hollow-point ammunition was recovered from Ramos’s vehicle. Collins was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries.

If anyone witnessed the events on Delaware Avenue that day or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
