Eighteen-year-old Kieara Nicole Green was shot at a residence on Scottsdale Circle in Lexington, Kentucky, on the night of June 30, 2014, and died of her wounds two days later on July 2, 2014. Three other women were wounded in the same incident. Kieara had recently moved from Nicholasville, graduated high school, and was working at a McDonald’s.

Conflicting witness accounts made the investigation difficult, and the case remained unsolved for a time. Investigators later linked Allen Charles William Burgess to the scene through DNA on a baseball cap and ballistics tying a handgun in his possession to the bullet that killed Kieara. It was reported the shooting was related to a feud Burgess had with a man who had been at the house that night.

In July 2018 Burgess, then 24, entered an Alford plea to criminal facilitation to murder under a deal that dismissed three assault charges and carried a recommended five-year sentence; prosecutors had offered the plea after key witnesses became uncooperative. Kieara’s mother, Dinah Walker, read a victim impact statement at the hearing. Does anyone have memories of Kieara or information about that night that could add clarity to the case?
