100 DAYS: Lexington has reached 100 consecutive days without a homicide; it's a milestone city officials say may be unprecedented in the city's recorded history.

"This is a milestone so big that we couldn't even find on record the last time we went this long without a homicide," said Devine Carama, director of ONE Lexington.
The milestone follows Lexington's implementation of its first-ever comprehensive gun violence prevention strategy in 2022.

The city is now on pace for its fifth consecutive year of declining gun violence. 2025 saw the lowest number of gun-related homicides since 2015 and the lowest number of shootings since 2010. April recorded zero conflict-based shootings.

So far this year, Lexington has had four gun-related homicides, compared to eight at this same point last year.
