On the morning of August 13, 2021, 27-year-old Cameron LeVayle Martin, a Black male, was shot in the 500 block of Ohio Street in Lexington, Kentucky. Officers found him with gunshot wounds and he was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, where he died at 8:03 a.m. that same day. Initial reports say an argument in the roadway preceded the shooting.

Law enforcement identified a close friend, Codie Calderon, as the primary suspect. Calderon was arrested and charged with murder, wanton endangerment, and fleeing or evading police. Martin’s family described the arrest as complicated emotionally, since the accused was someone Martin had known since childhood.

This was Lexington’s 25th homicide of the year. What does anyone who knew Cameron or saw activity on Ohio Street that morning remember?
