Two men have been arrested and charged with murder in a shooting that left a 19-year-old dead in Lexington last month.

Faezon Odom, 21, and Tyrese Ingram, 20, have been charged in the March 10 death of Darius Gaston-Garner, the Lexington Police Department announced late Wednesday.

Odom was already being held in the Fayette County Detention Center on unrelated charges. He was charged with murder Wednesday.

The Louisville Metro Police Department arrested Ingram on a murder warrant. He was being held Wednesday by the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections while awaiting extradition to Fayette County, Lexington police said.

Gaston-Garner was found suffering from a gunshot wound on the 3400 block of River Park Drive at about 12:45 p.m., police said at the time. He died after being taken to a local hospital.
