Kristopher Lewis, 28, was shot to death in a parking lot on Trade Street in Lexington, Kentucky, in the early morning hours of September 29, 2023. Found with a fatal gunshot wound in an industrial area, his death was first thought to be the result of an altercation but later was described by investigators as a targeted assassination.

Lewis had been indicted in 2022 and was cooperating with federal prosecutors as a key witness against Rollie Lamar in a major drug trafficking and money laundering case. Prosecutors say his cooperation prompted those arranging the killing to hire members of a Lexington street gang known as The Hot Boyz. Surveillance of Lewis reportedly took place for days before masked assailants ambushed him and fired multiple shots.

Few public details are available about the shooters identities or motive beyond the alleged link to Lewis’s federal cooperation and the witness-silencing theory. Does anyone have information about Lewis’s movements in Lexington or saw suspicious activity near Trade Street that morning?
