LPD releases records and bodycam from closed 2019 homicide; suspect could be free next year
In 2019, Lexington Police received reports of shots fired at a Delzan Place bar, just off Clays Mill Rd. When they arrived, witnesses said a man, later found to be Larry Walters, with a “funny looking mustache” was harassing bar patrons, and when another patron intervened, pulled out a Colt 1911 variant handgun and struck him with it. A forensics analyst later described Mr. Walters’ weapon as “poorly maintained.”
The other guy didn’t back down, though, and defended himself from Walters’ attack with his hands. That’s when the drunken Walters began wildly shooting inside the bar. His actions left one wounded and one dead.
Walters took off, but LPD quickly caught up with him, and it’s all on bodycam. Mr. Walters urinated upon himself during the arrest.
Don’t worry, though, Commonwealth’s Attorney Lou Anna Red Corn says the sentence he received is enough.
Walters was on house arrest prior to sentencing, and was once spotted out for a little snack at Waffle House in 2020.
He will be eligible for parole next year.
…I’m a free citizen of the United States.
