Larry Thomas, a 40-year-old Black man from Baltimore, was visiting family in Louisville, Kentucky, when he was killed on Saturday, June 25, 2016. Thomas and his 37-year-old cousin John Bailey were at a home in the Park DuValle neighborhood with their 44-year-old cousin Michael L. Bass Sr. The next day the homeowner found the three men shot multiple times; Thomas and Bailey were in the living room and Bass was in a bedroom. Pieces of carpet had been cut from the floor and used to wrap the victims.

Louisville Metro Police investigators arrested 31-year-old William E. Mason Jr. within days, reportedly after tips and evidence from the scene. Mason, who had a criminal history involving drugs and firearms, was charged with three counts of murder. A jury later convicted him of the murders of Larry Thomas and John Bailey but not of Michael Bass. Mason received life sentences for the two convictions plus related weapons and tampering charges.

If anyone knew Larry Thomas or was at the house that weekend, please share what you remember with investigators.
