LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â Monday s shooting death on Woodhill Drive in Lexington brought the total number of homicide s the city has investigated in 2020 to 34. The number easily surpasses last year s total of 30.
For Andre Washington, one was too many, as her grandson Mykal Waide was killed by gunfire this August. We miss him. We miss him a lot, she said. Christmas Eve was really hard for me, she said of last week s holiday.
The 34 homicides only represent less than one-quarter of the total shooting the city has reported this year. That number was in the 130s as of December 7.
