On October 19, 2019, 18-year-old Dwayne Slaughter was killed in a daylight shooting in Lexington, Kentucky. Slaughter, another 18-year-old, Darrian Webb, and a third person were passengers in a car at Winchester Road and Seventh Street when a light-colored SUV pulled up and multiple rounds were fired into their vehicle. Both Slaughter and Webb died at the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital within an hour; the third passenger was wounded and survived. Investigators recovered 37 shell casings of three different calibers at the scene.

Authorities identified and charged four suspects in connection with the double homicide. De’Shaun Armor, 20, and John Boulder, 20, were charged in January 2020; Kenneth Jakobe Jackson, 18, and Sevion Mitchell were later charged, with Jackson initially handled as a juvenile. Investigators said the shooting was gang-related retaliation tied to derogatory videos and statements by Webb, and prosecutors alleged involvement by members of an organized criminal group.

Anyone with information about the shooting or its background is asked to come forward.
