The man accused of gunning down and killing the mother of his child pleaded not guilty Thursday morning to a charge of murder.
Toma Washington is accused of shooting Jaleesa Robinson on Schenkel Lane Tuesday night. Robinson managed to drive to the Circle K nearby to call for help. She was taken to UK Hospital but later died of her injuries.
Washington has a lengthy criminal history including a conviction of manslaughter and a history of domestic violence. LEX 18 was unable to confirm if Robinson was the complainant in the previous domestic violence cases.

Family gathered last night to remember the beloved mother.
“Now we’ve got to raise the niece because the mom’s not here,” said Robinson’s sister Charmmisha Weathers. “We can’t even explain to my niece, her daughter, what happened. We’re hurt by the whole situation. It’s not right. It’s not right at all. It has to stop.”
Washington turned himself in to Frankfort Police. He was arraigned via video conference. His bond was set at $500K full cash.
A preliminary hearing for Washington will be held next Tuesday.
