Kirsten Turner, UK’s vice president for student success, said the start of the year brings energy to campus. “We are looking to be at an all-time record enrollment this year. We were at 38,000 last year. So, we’ll be north of that,” Turner said.

Multiple teenagers are dead, injured or in jail after two separate shootings in Lexington this month.

The family of 20-month-old Joshua Bowen said they are looking for peace after sentencing for the two people who pleaded guilty in his death was rescheduled Monday.

Two 19-year-olds charged in connection with the shooting death of another 19-year-old appeared in Fayette District Court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing. Jordan Jackson and Isaiah Padgett were arrested last week after a shooting on Tilden Road in Lexington that investigators say killed Jarell Rojas.
