One person is dead after being shot at a party in Lexington.

It happened just before 2 a.m Saturday at a townhome on Unity Drive, which is just off Red Mile Road.

Police say an argument broke out at a large party, and someone fired shots.

According to police, 18-year-old Nathaniel McNealy, of Louisville, was shot multiple times. He later died at UK Hospital.

The man that threw the party told WKYT he never thought things would take such a dark turn.

"I didn't think that a party would get out of hand like that," he said.

Austin Mills lives nearby and he says it was a disturbing site.

"Look outside and then there is some innocent 18-year-old kid," he said. That apparently wasn't even the target, but he gets killed."

Mills says he is a student at the University of Kentucky. He says he never thought something so tragic would hit this close to home.

"It's a little uneasy you know. Knowing that something like that could happen," he said. You are just here trying to get your education. I mean this is not something you want to worry about."

Police do not have a description of the suspect. The man that threw the party told WKYT he did not know the young man who was shot.
