Teen Accused in Fatal Shooting | Lexington News

An 18-year-old woman, Trinity Buckner, faces murder charges after allegedly shooting and killing her 18-year-old friend, Brandon Williams Jr., during a party in Bourbon County. The incident, which occurred on September 6th, left Williams critically wounded and dead two days later. While Buckner claims the gun discharged accidentally, witnesses say she loaded and fired it intentionally while aiming at him—possibly under the influence of alcohol. Originally charged with assault and endangerment, the case could escalate to first-degree murder. Buckner is held on a $150,000 bond and appears in court on September 18th as the community mourns the loss of a promising high school athlete.
