LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - A man who was shot outside a Lexington strip club has died from his injuries.

Lexington Police got a report of a gunshot victim at 2:45 Friday morning from KentuckyOne Health - Saint Joseph East.

A short time later, someone called police to say that a few minutes earlier he heard shots being fired in the Richmond Road area around Camelot East.

The victim, who had several gunshot wounds, was transported from Saint Joe East to the University of Kentucky Hospital. Investigators say he was shot twice in the chest and once in the leg.

I never stay past 12am on the weekends there. It starts getting ghetto in there real fast.

Yeah you definitely don't wanna be at the ghetto clubs after 2am. And 5 homicides in 2 months seems like a lot. Or maybe I'm undermining Lexington, ky.
