Police investigating shooting on Hawkins Avenue

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Lexington police are investigating a shooting after finding a man in the road with gunshot wounds at around 2:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Officers say the victim was shot in the leg and the hip in the 400 block of Hawkins Avenue.  He was taken to UK Medical Center.

Investigators say they haven’t been able to get a good description of the suspect, and that conflicting reports are further complicating their investigation.

Police do say, however, that the suspect drove through the area a couple of times before the shooting, leading them to believe that the shooter was looking specifically for the victim.

ABC 36 will update this story as more details become available.
