A 17-year-old previously charged with murder in the death of a 16-year-old boy was charged Friday with a second count of murder in the disappearance of a 15-year-old boy who is presumed dead, according to the Lexington Police Department. Lexington police have been looking for Aoun Ismail Basboos, 15, since May 11. The 17-year-old charged in his death Friday had already been charged with the killing of Ali Haider Naqvi, 16, whose body was found in Harrison County on May 17. The suspect's name has not been released because they are a juvenile. Aoun and Ali were last seen getting into the back seat of a car in the 3300 block of Spangler Drive in Lexington on May 11. 'At this time, Aoun Basboos has not been located and is presumed to be deceased,' police said in a news release Friday evening. 'In consultation with the FBI, Fayette County Coroner's Office, and the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, adequate probable cause was determined to charge for the murder of Aoun Basboos.' The 17-year-old has been held in a juvenile detention center since May 14, police said. The car Aoun and Ali were seen getting into was later found at a market on Russell Cave Road in Lexington. Ali's body was found on Russell Cave Road in Harrison County. Both the 17-year-old who has been charged with murder and a 47-year-old man, Jesus Eduardo Reyes-Rodriguez, were charged with tampering with physical evidence in connection with the car. Detectives are still searching for Aoun, and anyone with information is asked to call the Lexington Police Department at 859-258-3600. Bluegrass Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,500 reward for information on Aoun's whereabouts.

Andrew Cuomo gets mayor endorsement from former critic: ‘Toughness to lead New York'
NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) — A whirlwind week in the race for New York City Mayor ended with a dramatic political about-face and a chaotic rally ending with an arrest. State Senator Jessica Ramos, once a vocal critic of former Governor Andrew Cuomo, announced Friday she is endorsing him in the Democratic mayoral primary. The surprise move comes despite years of public criticism of Cuomo by Ramos over issues ranging from sexual harassment allegations to the state's handling of nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. More Local News Ramos said in the end, her decision to endorse Cuomo came down to the looming threat of President Trump, and his experience as compared to the other leading contender in the race Zohran Mamdani. 'Only one of them has the experience and toughness and the knowledge to lead New York through what's about to come, and that's Andrew Cuomo,' Ramos said to loud applause at a rally. Just six weeks ago, Ramos openly questioned Cuomo's mental acuity. At the time, a spokesperson for Cuomo fired back by implying Ramos was drinking too much. The Senator has also recently failed to qualify for the second Democratic mayoral debate and was passed over for an endorsement by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Cuomo downplayed any recent Ramos criticism: 'You take everything with a grain of salt. I've said things about opponents during campaigns. You get caught up in the rhetoric and energy of the moment. That's the nature of the business.' Uptown, Mamdani held a rally of his own that was disrupted by a supporter of former President Donald Trump. The man confronted Mamdani, accusing him of being insufficiently supportive of Israel and Jewish people. Police said 55-year-old Raul Rivera was arrested and charged with assault after allegedly biting one of Mamdani's volunteers who tried to intervene. Amidst the commotion, Mamdani took aim at Ramos' endorsement of Cuomo. 'Andrew Cuomo is the best example of leadership that has failed New Yorkers,' he said. 'To see him be legitimized is always something that will trouble me.' Early voting in the NYC Primary begins June 14th. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
