LEXINGTON, Ky. — An 18-year-old teenager, Aubrion Johnson, is set to appear in court today for an arraignment related to a recent shooting incident at a local mini mart. Johnson faces multiple charges, including robbery, wanton endangerment, and assault.
The incident occurred last week at a mini mart on Anniston Drive when police received reports of gunfire during a staged robbery. Officers arrived at the scene and found that Johnson had engaged in a physical confrontation with the store clerk before allegedly discharging his weapon. Fortunately, although gunshots were fired, no one was injured in the incident, although the clerk did sustain non-life-threatening injuries and received medical care.
Johnson was arrested on Friday, shortly after the events unfolded. The charges against him reflect the severity of the situation, as authorities consider the incident a serious threat to public safety. His arraignment is scheduled for 1 p.m. today, where further proceedings will establish the course of the case.
Residents of the Lexington community are urged to stay informed as developments unfold, with local law enforcement reminding the public about the importance of safety and vigilance in their neighborhoods. This case underscores ongoing concerns regarding violent crime and its effects on community safety.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the altercation and encourage anyone with additional information to come forward.
