LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — In a candid 30-minute session with reporters Thursday morning inside the Lexington Division of Police headquarters, Chief Lawrence Weathers addressed the homicide rate, which is becoming an epidemic in this city of roughly 300,000 people.
“Fifteen homicides is very concerning,” Weathers said.
That’s how many police have been called to investigate so far in 2021. We have another 8 ½ months to surpass last year’s total of 34, which at this point seems inevitable.
“You could look at it that way,” Weathers said, when told the city was on pace to break its record. “But we can go months without one, and then, we get a bunch.”
