Arrest Made in Murder of University of Kentucky Student

Police say they have made an arrest in the fatal shooting of a University of Kentucky student.

A statement from the city says police charged 18-year-old Justin D. Smith on Friday with murder, robbery, tampering with evidence and evading police. The statement says police also are looking for more suspects in the killing of 22-year-old Jonathan W. Krueger of Ohio.

Krueger was gunned down as he walked with a friend along a street near the UK campus in Lexington. The coroner says he died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

Lexington police say they responded to a report of shots fired around 2 a.m. Friday and found Krueger in the street.

Krueger was photo editor at the school's newspaper, the Kentucky Kernel.
