Lonnie Oxendine, 22, was shot and later died after being found with life-threatening injuries around 5:15 p.m. on Sunday, January 31, 2021, in the outdoor area between the City Center and the Lexington Marriott in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. He was taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital where he later succumbed to his wounds.

The confrontation traces back to a party at Manchester Music Hall the night before, hosted by promoter Jacouri Burns. Oxendine, an aspiring rapper known as ATM Grinda, had paid $900 for a VIP section and a chance to perform. When the event was shut down before his turn, a dispute over the money reportedly followed, and Oxendine allegedly confronted Burns. The next day the two encountered one another outside the City Center while Oxendine was reportedly filming a music video; witnesses say an altercation occurred and Oxendine punched Burns, after which Burns admitted to shooting him and later claimed self-defense.

A Fayette County jury later found Jacouri Burns not guilty of murder and second-degree assault, concluding his use of deadly force was justified. After the verdict, a confrontation between the families outside the courthouse led to minor injuries and a reported gunshot fired into the air from a vehicle; no arrests were reported from that post-verdict incident.

Did anyone in Lexington have contact with Oxendine around the time of the party or the filming who can add details about what happened?
