In the early hours of May 7, 2022, gunfire erupted at Green Acres Park off LaSalle Road in Lexington, Kentucky. Police who answered 911 calls about shots fired around 1:16 a.m. found multiple victims; two people died at the scene and three other men were wounded and taken to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. One fatality was identified as 49-year-old James Henry Bost Jr.; the other was 20-year-old Amaya Victoria Taylor-Sandifer. Both were pronounced dead shortly after 2:00 a.m.

The scene was chaotic: dozens of rounds had been fired, a vehicle collision was noted, and nearby houses and cars were struck by bullets. Lexington police opened a double homicide investigation and asked residents to check home surveillance footage and to submit tips, including anonymously to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers. A year later the case remained unsolved and no suspects had been publicly identified or arrested.
