On Sept. 9, 2010, between 11 a.m. and noon, Chance LeCroy was asleep.
Before he was slain that day, LeCroy went to work at FedEx, prosecutor Kevin Brown said Tuesday in Hamilton County Criminal Court. LeCroy, a 21-year-old package handler, loaded trucks from 3-8 a.m. Then he went to his home, at 1211 Johnston Terrace, had breakfast with his girlfriend, and lay down.
“His girlfriend laid there with him,” Brown said. “She got up for work around 9 o’clock. She kissed him goodbye, and that was the last time she ever saw Chance alive.”
Meanwhile, about 25 minutes across town, Patrick Carmody hopped into a 1980s primer-gray Chevrolet pickup truck with Ronald Pittman and Billy Bob Partin. Carmody lived in a cabin up by the lake on the property of Harbor Lights Yacht Club, Brown said. And he knew Partin and Pittman because they worked at the club. They also knew of Manny Alcantara, a coworker who bought and sold marijuana with LeCroy, his high school friend.
So Carmody knew – as they stopped at an Academy Sports store to buy fleece hoodies, and traveled down a dead-end road to 1211 Johnston Terrace, and entered the back bedroom before shooting him twice – that LeCroy sold marijuana, Brown said.
