All five of the teens charged in connection with the robbery and shooting death of a Frankfort delivery driver appeared in court after their indictments in the case.
It was the first Jared Banta’s family saw all five suspects in court at the same time. Banta was found shot to death outside of a Frankfort apartment complex.
According to a recent indictment, Victorya Young, Brooke Kennedy and Cameron Montgomery are accused of setting up Banta the day he was killed. All three of the girls are charged with robbery and complicity to commit murder.

Prosecutors revealed Friday that the robbery and murder were recorded on a cell phone by one of the three girls accused of setting him up. Commonwealth Attorney Larry Cleveland said that text messages before and after the murder tell the story.
“There’s a text that says Victorya Paige is going to get in the car, then Kirshaun and Kiwee (a nickname of one of the suspects) are going to get in, then Paige runs out and that’s exactly what happened, and the icing on the cake, one of the girls videotaped this,” said Cleveland.
Cleveland wouldn’t say which girl recorded the crime.
The two men charged in connection to the crime, Kedrick Burton and Krishaun Mays also entered not guilty pleas. Burton is charged with complicity to murder and robbery. Mays is accused of being the actual triggerman and he is facing charges of murder and robbery.
Jared Banta’s father spoke to LEX 18’s Leigh Searcy briefly after court and told her he is 100% confident that all five will be convicted of their alleged crimes against his son.
