The victim of a mysterious Sunday morning shooting has been identified.
Authorities tell LEX 18 that Lamont Butler, 24, was shot early Sunday morning at an unknown location and then dumped out of a dark SUV into the grass on Burnett Avenue near Limestone.
A neighbor told LEX 18 that he heard a commotion outside and when he walked out of his home he found a black male in his early 20’s complaining that he couldn’t breathe.
Just before 6:00 a.m. officers were called to the intersection of Burnett Avenue and Limestone for the report of someone who was shot.

The sergeant says the man was shot in his abdomen on his left side. The victim was scared and asked police to call his mom. Authorities tell LEX 18 that an officer held his hand and told him he was going to be ok while waiting for the fire department to arrive.
The Fire Department quickly picked him up and rushed him to UK Hospital. The victim was conscious when he was taken to UK.
The man had surgery early Sunday morning. There’s no word on his condition at this time.
Police do not have any suspects at this time.
