NICHOLASVILLE – A Nicholasville man has been charged with attempted murder after he allegedly shot a handgun into a vehicle, striking the driver, police said.
Isaiah “Ikie” Wilkinson, 31, was also charged with possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, Nicholasville police said.
The incident happened at about 6:15 p.m. Sunday, when police responded to a call of a shooting on Courchelle Drive.
Witnesses told police there had been a confrontation between Wilkinson’s girlfriend and the shooting victim. When the victim, who was not identified, drove from the scene of the confrontation toward her home, Wilkinson was standing in the street waiting for her, police said. As she drove by, Wilkinson fired one shot into the driver’s side window and struck the victim in the left shoulder, police said.
She was taken to University of Kentucky Hospital for treatment.
Police served a search warrant several hours later at Wilkinson’s house and found several firearms, including the weapon they believe was used in the shooting.
Wilkinson was taken to the Jessamine County jail.
