A message from District 8 Councilman, George G. Myers regarding the
shooting last night:

Dear Friends,

As you may have heard, the Lexington Division of Police (LDP)
responded to a deadly shooting last night within the 8th District on
the 1100 block of Tatesbrook Drive. My office has been in close
contact with the LDP today to ensure that our citizens and community
are safe. I have been assured that an investigation is underway and
that at this time there is no reason to believe that this was a random
act of violence. Police is actively working the case and will be
increasing patrols in the area. Additionally, the Violent Crimes Task
Force comprised of several units across the agency will continue to
intensify their focus on the neighborhoods surrounding this area.

The protection of person and property is the first and foremost
responsibility of government. With this in mind, the Council approved
a new recruit class of 25 officers for the Lexington Division of
Police yesterday, pending two readings of the budget. This meeting is
available to view in the video archive at lexingtonky.gov (under the
GTV3 tab).

Attached you will find a statement with more information from the LDP
regarding this incident. If you have any tips or information
involving this case, please telephone the LDP at (859) 258-3600.
Please pass this information along to other members within our
community and let me know if I can answer any of your questions.

My thoughts and prayers go to all those who are impacted by this
senseless tragedy.

George G. Myers, MSW
8th District Councilman
