Two Hopkinsville men were indicted Friday in connection to two separate murders that occurred in July.
The Christian County Grand Jury indicted 39-year old Leon Lamont Grimes on a charge of murder in connection to the death of 28-year old Calvin Buckner. According to Hopkinsville police, the charges stem from July 4 when Grimes shot Buckner in the chest at a party. Buckner was transported by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center where he later died from his injuries.
The grand jury also indicted 36-year old Mory Cortez Burse on charges of murder and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. The charges stem from July 28th when Hopkinsville police reported officers responded to a call of shots fired just before midnight on Sharpe Street and found 48-year old Devon Kendrick with multiple gunshot wounds. Kendrick was transported by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center and then flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he later died after he underwent emergency surgery.
