Shortly after 3:20 a.m. on a Saturday in Lexington, Kentucky, two people were found dead outside the Northside Branch of the Lexington Public Library on Russell Cave Road. Seventy-one-year-old Ashim Heanacho and 52-year-old Edward Parker died of gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Police arrested 69-year-old Deborah Weiss at the scene and charged her with two counts of murder. The arrest citation says Weiss admitted to the shootings and surveillance footage reportedly shows Weiss striking the sleeping Parker with a sledgehammer, shooting him, then breaking the rear window of a car where Heanacho was asleep and shooting him three times. Weiss allegedly called 911 after the attacks and told the dispatcher she had killed two men; officers say she again admitted to the killings when they arrived.

A preliminary hearing revealed Weiss had prior confrontations with both victims related to her son. Weiss, described as homeless in reports, was initially held on $1 million bond later reduced to $750,000; she has pleaded not guilty and the case was sent to a grand jury.

Did anyone know Ashim Heanacho or Edward Parker, or have information about the events outside the library that night?
