ONE Lexington released its 2025 annual report today, documenting a fourth straight year of declining gun violence among youth and young adults, Mayor Linda Gorton said.
“Last year, Lexington recorded its fewest total homicides in a decade, and the fewest gunshot victims since 2010,” Gorton said. “The city has reduced community violence by 60% since 2021.”
Working with community partners, ONE Lexington strives to treat the root causes of gun violence in the youth and young adult population.
“It truly takes a village to address the city’s major issues, and our village here in Lexington is strong,” said Devine Carama, One Lexington Director. “We are blessed to be in a position to connect and foster so many amazing partnerships.”
