Vincenzo Happy, 23, was fatally shot on the afternoon of Sunday, February 9, 2014, while sitting in his black Chevrolet Monte Carlo on Lima Drive in Lexington, Kentucky. As many as a dozen rounds were fired into the car; the vehicle then rolled into a pile of snow. Happy was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital and was pronounced dead shortly before 2:30 p.m.
Lexington police identified two suspects. Jayronn Montero Nickerson, 22 and known by the street name Project, was named by a witness as the person who fired into Happy’s car; an arrest warrant was issued and he was later apprehended in Michigan by the U.S. Marshals Service and indicted on murder and persistent felony offender charges. Lamarius Gates, 20, was charged in July 2014 with complicity to commit murder, with court documents describing him as an active participant in the shooting. Both men pleaded not guilty and were held in the Fayette County Detention Center at arraignment.
Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the shooting on Lima Drive who can help fill in what happened that afternoon?
