LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Three people charged in connection to a shooting that left a man dead have all plead not guilty to the charges on Monday.

Officers say when they arrived, they found two men who had been shot, one of which was reported dead at the scene by the Lexington Fire Department. The Fayette County Coroner's Office identified him as 36-year-old Michael Yocum. Police say the second victim was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
