Lexington police make fifth arrest in August Cross Keys Road shooting

A fifth arrest has been made in connection with a deadly shooting on Cross Keys Road in Lexington, the Lexington Police Department said in a Nov. 13 update.

The shooting took place in August, according to police. Investigators have been working through leads and evidentiary developments since then to identify those involved in the incident and to file charges against people tied to the case.

WKYT reported that the case involves the death of 19-year-old Jasiya Mock. Police have not, in the information provided here, laid out the full list of charges against each defendant, the identities of the additional arrestees, or whether any case dispositions have occurred since arrests began.

The Nov. 13 announcement marks an escalation in the investigation’s progress, with officials indicating that the fifth arrest is connected to the same August incident on Cross Keys Road.

Police statements to date indicate that the arrests are part of an ongoing effort to hold those allegedly responsible accountable through the criminal justice process, including filing charges and preparing the matter for court.

As with many multi-arrest investigations, the next steps will depend on how cases proceed after arrests, including initial court appearances, bond decisions, and the timing of pretrial hearings and trial scheduling.
