Ricky Allen Williams Jr., 40, was fatally shot after a parking-lot dispute that began with a minor car accident off Versailles Road in Lexington, Kentucky, on May 1, 2022. Surveillance from two angles recorded the argument behind the vehicles; the footage shows Williams running in front of the cars and then collapsing after multiple gunshots. Officers who arrived found him face-down and unresponsive.

The other man involved, 39-year-old Jerry Price, was arrested at the scene and tried on a murder charge beginning January 2025. Price’s defense said he acted in self-defense, claiming Williams had been the aggressor and had referenced a gun, prompting fear for his and his wife’s safety. The prosecution argued the confrontation should have been handled with a police report rather than deadly force.

A Fayette County jury acquitted Price of murder but convicted him of second-degree manslaughter and proceeded to a penalty phase to decide his sentence for Williams’s death.
