On the evening of January 7, 2022, 26-year-old Kobby Lee Martin, a Black/African American man, was found unresponsive in the street on the 1700 block of Cantrill Drive off Eastland Parkway in Lexington. Emergency crews arrived around 9:09 p.m. and discovered Martin with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Fayette County Coroner’s Office confirmed his identity and ruled the death a homicide from those gunshot wounds. An autopsy was performed at the state medical examiner’s office in Louisville.

Lexington police asked residents near the scene to check home surveillance for evidence. The investigation resulted in the arrest of 24-year-old Deonte Carter, who was charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence. What can readers who were in the Cantrill Drive area that night add to the record?
