Alisa Reed was 17 and a senior at Frederick Douglass High School in Lexington, Kentucky when she was shot at an apartment on Palumbo Drive on the evening of January 17, 2019. Known as Lucy to friends and family, she was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital and died of a single gunshot wound on January 19, 2019. The Fayette County Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Lexington police say the shooting was first reported as accidental but was reclassified after investigators noted suspicious circumstances. Several teenagers who had been at the apartment left before officers arrived, and police indicated drugs were believed to be involved. Alisa’s family donated her organs; her school observed a moment of silence and held two weeks of random acts of kindness in her memory.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains an open homicide investigation. If anyone was at the apartment that night or has information that could help, please share what is known.
