A shooting death in downtown Lexington on Sunday is causing some to rethink if it’s safe for them to go downtown at night. However, statistics show homicides downtown are very rare.
The sound of gunshots has become so common to people living around Castlewood Park that a group of neighbors didn’t think to call 9-1-1 when they heard a series of gunshots Saturday night.
Last month, the City of Lexington reported zero homicides. The Lexington Police Department says the last time Lexington didn’t have a homicide in January was in 2007.
