Police: Teenager charged with murder, assault in separate Lexington shootings
An 18-year-old has been arrested and charged with murder in a 2019 homicide case that now has four defendants, according to Lexington police.
Police said Tuesday they had charged the 18-year-old in the death of Damontrial Daquan Fulgham, 23. Fulgham was killed on Dec. 10, 2019, during a shooting on Osage Court. The 18-year-old is one of four charged with murder in the homicide, according to court records. The others are John Boulder IV, Jo’Qwan Jackson and Javari Butler.
Police said the 18-year-old was also charged with assault, two counts of robbery and evidence tampering.
Some of the 18-year-old’s charges stemmed from a separate shooting in 2019 in the 900 block of Red Mile Road, police said. He was accused of shooting a 17-year-old the night before the Osage Court homicide. The victim’s injury wasn’t life-threatening.
Police didn’t name the arrested suspect, but Andre Tennial Hilliard, 18, was booked in the Lexington-Fayette County Detention Center Monday on charges of murder, assault, robbery, evidence tampering and being a minor in possession of a handgun.
Hilliard was picked up by the Fayette County sheriff’s office at the Barren County Detention Center, according to jail records.
The suspect was a minor at the time of the killing. Prosecutors will decide if he’s prosecuted as a juvenile or an adult, according to police.
