LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The Fayette County Coroner’s Office has released the name of the teenager who died over the weekend after being shot in a Lexington apartment.

The coroner says she is 17-year-old Alisa Reed.

Lexington police are investigating her death as a homicide.

Police say Reed was in an apartment on Palumbo Drive Thursday night when there was a shooting.

They say several other teenagers were inside the apartment with her. Investigators say drugs were involved.
