A quiet Thursday morning in Lexington turned into tragedy when 29‑year‑old Anisleys Font Lantaron was found stabbed to death inside an apartment on Larkin Road. Police and emergency crews responded around 10:45 a.m. to reports from residents of suspicious activity, only to discover Lantaron unresponsive with multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and the Fayette County Coroner later ruled her death a homicide.
Officers from the Lexington Police Department arrested 43‑year‑old Roberto Buffill Paredes at the apartment moments after discovering the victim. According to official records, Paredes now faces several felony charges, including murder (classified as domestic violence), abuse of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence. He is being held without bond at the Fayette County Detention Center.
Investigators allege that Paredes stabbed Lantaron during an altercation inside the apartment. Police documents suggest Lantaron was the mother of Paredes’ child, making the situation even more heartbreaking for friends and family. After the attack, the arrest citation says Paredes attempted to clean up the scene and wrapped her body in blankets “in a manner that would outrage ordinary family sensibilities,” a phrase drawn from Kentucky law related to abuse of a corpse.
When questioned by detectives, Paredes reportedly admitted to the assault, the tampering with evidence, and the improper handling of the victim’s body. Despite the confessions, law enforcement has yet to publicly release the motive or what may have triggered the fatal encounter.
Neighbors at the Surfside Green Apartments, near the intersection of Larkin and Nicholasville roads, said they were shaken by the violence. One resident said the complex had always felt safe, making the incident all the more jarring for families who live there. Police cordoned off part of Larkin Road for hours while they searched for clues and gathered evidence.
Court records show Paredes is expected to appear for arraignment in Fayette District Court. Officials from the Lexington Police Department remind anyone with information about the case to come forward. At this stage, detectives are continuing their investigation to understand the full circumstances surrounding Lantaron’s death.
Friends and loved ones who knew Lantaron describe her as a caring mother and someone full of life. As the community processes this sudden loss, her death is a chilling reminder of how domestic situations can escalate with devastating consequences.
