Updated: Teenager accused of Hollow Creek Drive murder identified

The Lexington Police Department has announced it has arrested a 17-year-old juvenile in connection to a homicide that occurred on Hollow Creek Drive Monday afternoon.

The juvenile’s name was withheld due to their age. However, once the suspect turned 18, court records indicated the suspect’s name was Ahtraivaon Jenkins.

Jenkins has been charged with murder and minor in possession of a handgun, per police.

Officers were called to the 400 block of Hollow Creek Drive at 1:18 p.m. Monday for a report of shots fired. When officers arrived, they found a 44-year-old man inside a residence who had been shot, police said.

The victim, identified as Cornelius Allen by the Fayette County coroner’s office, was transported to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital but died from his injuries.
