A dispute inside Uncle 7’s Bourbon Bar & Grill in Lexington, Kentucky, turned deadly on March 11, 2019. James Nelson Terry, 68, was shot during an argument with another man, Larry Walters, when gunfire erupted around 4 p.m. Two people suffered gunshot wounds; Terry was transported to the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital and died the following morning. The Fayette County Coroner’s Office ruled a gunshot wound the cause of death. The other victim was seriously injured.

Walters, 73 at the time, fled the scene and was arrested shortly afterward near his Galata Drive home. He was initially charged with murder, first-degree assault, and three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment. Court filings later show Walters said he had no memory of the events, his defense had planned an insanity plea, and a trial had previously ended in a mistrial; a plea agreement recommending a 10-year term was recorded in July 2022.

Did anyone in Lexington witness the altercation at Uncle 7’s or have information about what led up to the shooting?
