LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Lexington Police Department is searching for a man wanted in a fatal shooting. Anthony King, 27, has active warrants for Murder and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
Shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday, July 11, officers were dispatched to the 500-block of Chestnut Street for a reported shooting. Officers located a man lying on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The victim was transported to a hospital and later died from his injuries. He has been identified by the Fayette County Coroner’s Office as 31-year-old Darrell L. Price of Lexington.
Through the course of the investigation, detectives developed suspect information that identified King as the shooter. He and the victim were acquaintances.

Thoughts? Although I'm admittedly not 100 percent sure and taking a bit of a risk, this case is recent enough with me not seeing any articles about any arrests to reasonably assume King is still at large as of this posting date (August 3rd, 2020). However, if that status has changed or changes in the future feel free to let us know. As far as possible motive, I saw replies to the Lexington Police Department's Facebook page claiming that Rice and King were cousins and this alleged shooting was the result of an argument over King's car getting towed. I don't want to assume since this is social media where anyone can claim anything, but if that really is the motive it is very sad and senseless.
