Original Story:
Two men were found shot to death in a Lexington apartment Monday morning, according to Lexington police.
The shooting reportedly began just before 11 a.m. on Village Drive off Versailles Road, where officers found the victims inside an apartment with multiple gunshot wounds.
"We have two gentlemen who suffered multiple gunshot wounds which caused both of their deaths," Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said. "This is very early in our death investigation. We've got robbery homicide here, several detectives are here that are currently investigating the scene."
Yellow tape blocked off the shooting scene as a coroner's van sat in the parking lot. Grieving family and friends arrived after learning of the deaths.
Officers are still working to identify who killed the men. Ginn said police were getting statements from at least one person at headquarters.
A relative of one victim, who spoke off camera, said the man was a father. The relative said they had no idea why someone would want to kill him.
The investigation is ongoing.
Detectives stated that anyone with information on the case is asked to call Lexington police at 859-258-3600. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Bluegrass Crime Stoppers by calling 859-253-2020 or online here.
