Lexington police were investigating a shooting that sent one man to the hospital Wednesday night when they found a second victim, another man who had been stabbed, officials said Thursday.

Police don’t know whether the incidents that occurred in a north Lexington neighborhood are related, said Officer Ann Gutierrez, a Lexington police spokeswoman.

Police received calls about gunshots fired in the area of Kemper Court and Whitney Avenue in north Lexington about 10:15 p.m. Wednesday.

They found Tyrell Dumphord, 22, of Lexington, who had been shot in the leg, and he was taken to University of Kentucky Hospital.

“While they were searching the area, trying to secure the area and locate any kind of evidence, they located a second victim,” Gutierrez said.

The second victim, who was found at Whitney Avenue and Michigan Street, was stabbed, but he was not taken to the hospital.

A Letcher County woman pleaded guilty Friday to reckless homicide in the stabbing death of her boyfriend in Lexington.

Sharon Collins, 30, agreed to a one-year sentence in the September 2007 death of David B. Hogg, 36.

Sharon Collins, 30, agreed to a one-year sentence for the September 2007 death of David B. Hogg, 36. Collins has already spent about four or five months in jail.

Sharon Collins, 30, agreed to a one-year sentence for the September 2007 death of David B. Hogg, 36. Collins has already spent about four or five months in jail.

Collins already has spent about four or five months in jail. With good-time credit she’ll probably serve three or four more months, said her attorney, Russell Baldani. She was taken into custody Friday.

 

Collins initially was charged with murder. But after she testified before a Fayette County grand jury in November, the charge was reduced to second-degree manslaughter.

Baldani said Collins was prepared to argue self-defense if the case had gone to trial. But she accepted a plea deal because she did not want to risk going to prison for five to 10 years.

The stabbing occurred early Sept. 16, 2007. Collins says she was at the Rosebud bar in downtown Lexington while Hogg and an acquaintance broke into cars to steal radios, Baldani said.

Later, the couple got into a fight in their car. Hogg slammed on the brakes, and Collins hit her head on the windshield and got out of the car. Hogg tried to drag her back to the car, giving her road rash, and he was on top of her when she stabbed him with a pocket knife, hitting him in the aorta, Baldani said.

Collins dropped Hogg’s body off at Samaritan Hospital at 6:15 a.m. Hospital employees estimated he’d been dead for an hour, according to court documents.
