A Lexington man accused of shooting his older brother has been charged with murder, according to jail records and police.
Cameren Fisher, 25, was initially charged with first-degree assault on Wednesday, according to police. But the charges changed when Fisher’s brother died. Gregory Lee Fisher, 30, died Wednesday afternoon, according to the Fayette County coroner’s office.
Police were called to a home on Atiya Place at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday for a reported shooting. The first officer who arrived found the 30-year-old victim outside and performed CPR until an ambulance arrived, according to police.
Fisher is accused of pulling up to the Atiya Place home and shooting his brother in the head, according to WKYT, the Herald-Leader’s reporting partner.
Gregory Fisher was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, which is where he died, the coroner’s office said.
Witnesses told police that Fisher shot the victim, according to police. Investigators found Fisher at a home on Alexandria Drive and arrested him. He is being held at the Fayette County Detention Center.
