Kentucky Self-Defense: Man shot and killed after he broke into home of woman he'd been dating, Lexington police say :: 04/26/2020

A 24-year-old man died after police said he was shot after breaking into a home in north Lexington late Friday night.

Lexington police said a woman called them to report that a man she had been dating had broken into her home on the 1900 block of Alice Drive and begun shooting.

“Another resident fired back, striking the intruder,” police said in a news release.

Police said they found the intruder, Jaymes Miller, dead inside the house. The Fayette County coroner’s office said he was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:40 p.m.

Police are continuing to investigate but said they do not expect to file charges against the person who shot Miller.

Police said Miller “had active warrants for domestic violence and the robbery of a Lexington motel earlier this month.”

In the robbery case, police said Miller came into the lobby of the Super 8 Motel located on Buena Vista Road with a gun on the afternoon of April 3, demanded cash and then ran.
