Lexington man charged in second homicide now facing two murder counts
LEXINGTON, Ky. (ABC36 NEWS NOW) — A man already jailed for one Lexington murder is now facing charges in a second deadly shooting—and he’s back in court Thursday.
Lexington Police say 25-year-old Deonte Carter has been charged in connection with the December 2021 shooting death of Devon Sandusky on Oak Hill Drive.

He’s now charged with two counts of murder and evidence tampering.
Court records show Carter is appeared for a review hearing Thursday morning, with a pretrial conference also scheduled.
Police say both homicide cases remain under investigation.
