A detective has confirmed that a marijuana transaction was the purpose of a recent meeting between two teenagers that led to the fatal shooting of a 15 year-old boy.
Nicholasville Police Detective Autumn Howard testified in a preliminary hearing that no cash and no marijuana was found on either 18 year-old suspect Tyler Jeffers or the victim, Leo Travers. Jeffers faces multiple charges, including murder. Travers was found the evening of January 12 in a residential street with a gunshot wound. He later died at a hospital.
Howard testified Travers had arranged a meeting with Jeffers to buy marijuana. Jeffers originally told police he didn’t know Travers, but later said he fired the shot when Travers grabbed at his pockets.
