A chance meeting in Louisville ended in homicide for 53-year-old Larry Pope. On the morning of August 16, 2016, Pope was found shot and dead inside a vehicle in an alley off South 44th Street near River Park Drive. Police classified the death as a homicide.

Within a day investigators arrested 19-year-old Jaiara Simpson and a 14-year-old juvenile. Police say the meeting had not been prearranged and believe it began as a narcotics transaction that turned violent. Reports indicate the juvenile fired first and that both used the same handgun. Simpson pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and was held on $250,000 bond; the juvenile reportedly cooperated with investigators and no further arrests were expected.

Does anyone have information about Pope’s movements in Louisville that morning or about a narcotics meeting in that area?
