Homicide suspect kills himself

Crime: Police say man would have been arrested;
suspect’s statements showed inaccuracies

3' WW "WW

STAFF WRITER

The suspect accused of
killing a UK-area man two
weeks ago has committed
suicide. Lexington police
said Thursday.

Michael Isaac Stacy. 24.
of Lexington. was found
dead Oct. 14 in his estranged
wife‘s home at 441 Shawnee
Ave, said Lt. James Curless
of the Lexington Police Rob-

bery and Homicide Unit.

Stacy was the only sus-
pect in the Oct. 8 homicide of
Kenneth Ashley Jones. 27. of
512 Euclid Ave.

Cui‘less said he believes
Stacy purposefully set fire to
the bedroom and died of
smoke inhalation and burns
to his body.

Lexington police deter-
mined it was suicide because
no attack marks were found
on Stacy's body. he said.

“It's an
assumption
made upon
what we
found in the
investiga-
tion.“ Cur-
less said. “If
he was
knocked out.
bound or
handcuffed.
it would have shown in the
autopsy."

No one else was hurt in
the ﬁre. and damage was con-
tained to the bedroom.

Curless said there are

Stacy

many motives for the suicide.
including a pending divorce
and a possible murder
charge.

Just one day before Star
cy‘s death. police interrogated
him about Jones' minder.

Jones (lied from blunt
force trauma to the head. Citr-
less said.

The two men were ac-
quaintances. though neither
were UK students.

Curless said he thought
theft was one of Stacy‘s moti-
vating factors.

“Some things were miss-
ing from Jones‘ apartment."

Dancing in the street: Mecca dancers will perform
Michael Jackson's ‘Thriller' downtown Sunday night

Jamie Barton needed a
little rhythm in her life. Last
month. she coaxed friend Hol—
lie (Tordle into taking part in
the Mecca's live production of
“Thriller" downtown.

“Please. It's Michael Jack-
son. Need I say more?" said
Cordle. an integrated strate-
gic communications sopho-
more,

The two are part of a

group of around 40 people of
all ages. who have been re-
hearsing for the past ﬁve
weeks to present a live street
performance of Michael Jack-
son‘s hit music video
"Thriller" this Sunday night
at 7 pm.

Starting at the Kentucky
Theater. and featuring a rein-
vented graveyard sequence
from the original music video.
on the lawn of the new court—
house. the zombies with step
will be entertaining down

town all the way to the Mecca
studio and gallery on Lime-
stone.

Melissa McCartt. the
dance leader. said everyone
has really developed a sense
of camaraderie from the re-
hearsals.

McCartt said she had to
tone down some of the com-
plex moves because of the
time constraints for rehearsal
of the project.

“The amount of moves
and counts are really minute
compared to the original."
McCartt said.

Barton. an undeclared
sophomore. had some dance

experience from show choir
in high school. but said the
routine is hard to learn for
some of the dancers.

Cordle said the routine is
still complex.

“It's really hard to get the
counts down." she said.

Barton said one of the
fun and creative parts of the
whole process was the make-
up and costume process. and
trying to get that “undead
look."

“I think I'll run over my
costume with my car" Barton
said.

When Nick Nolte

his Mercedes was

oncoming traffic.
A police spokes-

the time that

the actor
"seemed com-
pletely out of it.
He was drooling,
[with] droopy

the time that

he was under the
influence of a
drug other than
alcohol, but

it wasn't until
Wednesday that
they disclosed
that the blood
test showed gam-
ma hydroxybu-
