A Meade County teenager has become the fourth person charged in the murder of a Chicago man in Radcliff in April.
Jules Gregory, 18, of Brandenburg, was charged with complicity to commit murder and complicity to commit first-degree robbery, according to The New-Enterprise.
Gregory was arrested for his role in the April shooting death of 30-year-old Quincy K. Ukaigwe, who was found shot once in the head in a wooded area near Kentucky Veterans Cemetery-Central in Radcliff. His body was found on May 1. He was murdered on April 18 or 19, police said.
The three other suspects charged in Ukaigwe’s death are Jordan Williams, 33-year-old Danta R. Collins, of Vine Grove, and 22-year-old Jalen M. Cooley, of Radcliff. All four suspect could face the death penalty if convicted.
Ukaigwe’s family contacted Kentucky State Police on April 21 after not having contact with the victim for a few days. The family said Ukaigwe drove to the Radcliff area to visit a childhood friend.
The newspaper reports that, according to the arrest citation, a “pre-planned robbery” of cash from Ukaigwe led to his death. He was murdered inside his 2014 Mercedes Benz.
