Andres Soto Jr. was 20 when he was shot and killed on Oxford Circle in Lexington, Kentucky, in the early morning of December 6, 2015. Just before 3:30 a.m. he was found on the street and taken to the University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center, where he later died. The shooting became Lexington’s 17th homicide of the year.

Police initially searched for a white van believed to be connected to the shooting. Investigators say Soto was standing outside near a food truck with his cousin and that there was no evidence he knew the shooter. A 15-year-old, Christopher Bravo, was arrested and charged with murder and tampering with evidence. He later pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and tampering with evidence and was sentenced at age 16 to 11 years — 10 for manslaughter and one for tampering.

Soto had once been involved in a gang but had reportedly turned his life around and hoped to become a counselor for at-risk youth. Does anyone have memories of Andres or information about that night that could shed more light on what happened?
