FRANKFORT, KY – Attorney General Russell Coleman has announced that action by the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit resulted in the guilty verdict of Alfredo Delgado, 31, of Frankfort, for shooting a Nicholasville hotel clerk in 2022.
On June 19, 2024, a Jessamine County jury found Alfredo Delgado guilty of:
- One count of Assault First Degree (Class B Felony)
The jury recommended a 20-year sentence, and Delgado must serve at least 85% of the time to be parole eligible. Sentencing is scheduled for July 26, 2024.
In 2022, Delgado confronted the hotel clerk at Home Place Inn in Nicholasville, demanding she allow him access to a guest room. After she refused, Delgado shot the victim in the hand, head and shoulder. The victim required multiple surgeries and eventually lost a finger. Following the assault, Delgado fled to New York where he was apprehended before being transported back to Kentucky for prosecution.
“The people of Kentucky deserve a strong response to this type of violence, and that’s exactly what our team delivered in this case,” said Attorney General Coleman. “I’m grateful to the law enforcement officers from Nicholasville to New York who collaborated to apprehend this violent criminal and bring him to justice.”
The Nicholasville Police Department investigated the case. Deputy Executive Director of the Attorney General’s Special Prosecutions Unit Ramsey Dallam and Assistant Attorney General Lindsey Studebaker prosecuted the case on behalf of the Commonwealth. Erica Paske with the Attorney General’s Office of Victim Advocacy provided assistance to the victim.
