LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The police chief in Lexington, Kentucky, is asking the public for help in solving recent crimes, including the murder of a teenager.
Chief Lawrence Weathers took to Twitter on Friday, pleading with the public to come forward with information, no matter how insignificant it might seem.
