Family.search.org

A third arrest has been made in connection with the fatal shooting of 22 year old Jonathan Krueger.  The University of Kentucky student was fatally shot along Maxwell Street early Friday morning.  Lexington police have charged a 17 year old juvenile with murder, robbery, and tampering with physical evidence.  Police do not anticipate more arrests in the case.  The Lexington Herald reports not guilty pleas were entered yesterday on behalf of two other Lexington men, 18 year old Justin Smith and 20 year old Efrain Diaz.  The coroner’s office said Krueger died of a gunshot wound to the chest.  Preliminary hearings are set for May seventh.
