Kentucky Kernel photo editor Jonathan Krueger was shot and killed early Friday morning on the 400 block of East Maxwell Street.
Two men, Justin D. Smith, 18, and Efrain Diaz, 20, were charged with murder and first-degree robbery in the shooting. Smith was also charged with tampering with physical evidence, and fleeing and evading.
The mayor’s office reported that Krueger was shot during a robbery just after 2 a.m. Lexington police arrived on the scene two minutes after they were called and found Krueger lying on the street, according to Police Chief Mark Barnard.
