Lexington police have charged two men in connection with a shooting near downtown that left two men dead last October.
De’Shaun Armor and John Boulder, both 20, were charged Tuesday in connection with the fatal shootings of Dwayne Slaughter and Darrian Webb, police said in a news release.
The two 18-year-olds were shot while riding in a car near Winchester Road and Seventh Street on the afternoon of Oct. 19.
Armor is charged with two counts of murder, as well as first-degree assault, first-degree wanton endangerment and tampering with physical evidence.
Boulder is charged with facilitation to murder, facilitation to wanton endangerment and tampering with physical evidence.
Police said both Armor and Boulder were already being held in the Fayette County Detention Center on unrelated charges.
Boulder was charged Jan. 9 with murder in the shooting death of Damontrial D. Fulgham, 23, who died after a shooting that also left another man injured on Osage Court Dec. 10. Another man, Jo’Qwan Jackson, 19, has also been charged with murder in that case.
Police said more arrests in the double homicide are likely, and the investigation is ongoing.
