Lexington police seek second suspect linked to Aug. 21 Tilden Road homicide
Officers are asking for the public’s help locating a man they say is connected to a fatal shooting reported Aug. 21 on Tilden Road.
Lexington police announced Wednesday that they are searching for a second man they say is connected to an Aug. 21 homicide on Tilden Road. The department said the investigation is ongoing and that the man remains at large as authorities work to identify and locate people allegedly involved in the incident.
According to WKYT, Lexington police are attempting to find Jordan Jackson, 19, in connection with the homicide. Police said they are seeking the public’s assistance because the investigation has not yet concluded and Jackson is not in custody.
The shooting that prompted the investigation occurred on Aug. 21 in the Tilden Road area. While police have not said in the report’s summary what evidence tied Jackson to the homicide, the department’s decision to issue a “wanted” request indicates investigators believe he may have information or involvement relevant to the case.
Lexington police did not indicate in the report summary whether additional arrests have been made, or what specific charges Jackson may face if he is located. The department said its inquiry continues and that more details may be released as the case develops.
The department is urging people with information about Jackson’s whereabouts to contact police. Authorities also reiterated that residents should not approach anyone they believe may be connected to the case, and instead should relay tips through the appropriate channels.
As with all ongoing criminal investigations, the identities of suspects and the nature of allegations can change as investigators confirm witness accounts, review physical evidence, and proceed through investigative steps and any subsequent court processes.
If Jackson is located, investigators said the case will move into the next phase, including any arrest, booking, and prosecution decisions based on the evidence gathered. Police said they will continue seeking tips that can help determine what happened on Tilden Road on Aug. 21 and who is responsible.
