Mykel Waide, 18, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of August 16, 2020, in Lexington, Kentucky. The shooting occurred around 1:30 a.m. near Newtown Pike after reports of a large disorder and gunfire. Waide, a recent Tates Creek High School graduate who had played on the school basketball team and was planning to attend the University of Louisville, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the violence stemmed from an altercation between rival gangs at the Residence Inn on Newtown Court. Waide was not the intended target and was struck when multiple shooters opened fire; three other people suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Witnesses and surveillance footage indicated shots were fired from a vehicle into a crowd.

Who has information about that night or about Mykel’s movements in Lexington shortly before the shooting?
