Police in Lexington say two men have been charged in the Oct. 19 shooting that injured several people on the 1500 block of Versailles Road in what police believe to be a drug-related incident.
Upon officers’ arrival, two victims were found to have gunshot wounds. The first was Christopher Reed, 39, of severe injuries and with multiple gunshot wounds. Moreover, police found a gun and about 30 grams of methamphetamine on the suspect’s person, Reed. The second victim, an unidentified female, was injured non-critically.
According to court documents, 20-year-old Jacob Fogal, who sustained injuries in the incident, later turned up at a hospital seeking treatment. The police say that Fogal attempted to steal methamphetamine from Reed, fired upon him, and threw his gun in Reed’s way. After the crime, he allegedly tossed the gun away.
He was indicted on numerous counts, including two counts of first-degree assault and tampering with evidence. Reed was indicted on one count of first-degree trafficking of methamphetamine. Fogal is currently being held on a $50,000 bond pending arraignment Tuesday at 1 p.m., while Reed’s is scheduled for Nov. 20.
The incident remains under investigation as police try to understand the full circumstances of the violence and drug activity involved.
