JaQuis D’Aaron Kelvon Ray, known as Pooda, was 20 when he was fatally shot in Lexington, Kentucky, on December 28, 2020. He was found in the driver’s seat of an SUV in the Woodhill Food Mart parking lot with a gunshot wound to the head and was taken to a hospital, where he later died. A 20-year-old woman who was also in the vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries that were reported as either a graze from a bullet or cuts from shattered glass.

Surveillance footage showed a man in his early 20s with shoulder-length dreadlocks firing multiple shots at the SUV. Police identified Caelan Gills as the primary suspect, obtained a warrant, and charged him with murder, wanton endangerment, and fleeing police; he was arrested in March 2021 after a high-speed chase, and the indictment described him as a persistent felony offender. Ray was remembered as a loving father and a valued member of his family and community; his death was recorded as Lexington’s 34th homicide of 2020.

Does anyone have information about Ray’s final movements that night or details about the scene at Woodhill Food Mart?
