Late on a Sunday night in Lexington’s Florence Avenue neighborhood, gunfire shattered the quiet and left a block reeling. Police first found a minor with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds who was taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital. Around 3:15 a.m., officers were called to another location on the same block and discovered 19-year-old Jalen Henderson; he was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound. The Fayette County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide, the city’s eighth of the year.

Lexington Police say Henderson and the injured minor were likely shot during the same incident. The shooting also caused property damage on the block. No suspect information has been released and the investigation remains open, while family and friends grieve a young life lost.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Jalen, please share what you know with investigators.
