Armond Lukes, a 40-year-old male, passed away on April 12, 2022, in Lexington, Kentucky. Born on September 24, 1981, he was a proud small business owner who was well-loved by his family and friends. He was incredibly proud of the family he built with his wife, Mikecoria Miles Lukes.
On the night of his death, Lexington police responded to a call at 11:13 p.m. reporting that multiple people had been shot at a convenience store on Russell Cave Road.
Upon arrival, officers found Lukes with life-threatening injuries. He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:53 p.m. A second individual, a 51-year-old man, was also found at the scene with non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital. A firearm was recovered at the scene.
Over a month after the incident, Lexington police detectives reported they were no closer to knowing what transpired at the north side strip mall that evening. Investigators have indicated that witnesses were uncooperative or did not want to get involved, with some individuals fleeing the scene. The recovering 51-year-old man has also not provided much information to the detectives. With a lack of suspect information, authorities have turned to the public for assistance, with Crime Stoppers offering a channel for anonymous tips. The investigation remains ongoing as they continue to seek information about the events that led to Armond Lukes' death.
