James Daniel Potter, 36, died after being found in his pickup on Maxwelton Court in Lexington on March 25, 2018. First responders originally treated the scene as a crash and noted needles and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle. Potter was taken to UK Chandler Hospital where staff discovered a gunshot wound to his head; he died on March 29, 2018. The Fayette County Coroner ruled the death a homicide.

Prosecutors say the incident grew out of a dispute over $90 that Chase Weston Helvey, 26 at the time, claimed was owed by Potter’s girlfriend, Rebecca Richardson. Authorities allege Helvey assaulted Richardson with a blowtorch that night and shot Potter in the head. Another person present was charged with assault and, after taking a plea to testify, reportedly heard Helvey say it only took one shot.

Are there details anyone in Lexington can share about Maxwelton Court or the people involved that might shed more light on what happened that night?
