Larry Lamont White was born on March 30, 1958, in Louisville, Kentucky.

On June 4, 1983, 22-year-old Pamela Armstrong left her home to get food stamps in downtown Louisville. She entered the car of an unknown man. About an hour later, her body was discovered in an alley on Beech Street. She had been shot in the head. Her money and belongings were left untouched, making it difficult to determine a motive.

A week later, 21-year-old Yolanda Sweeney was seen leaving a nightclub with an unknown man. Two days after that, her body was found in a backyard on Greenwood Avenue, also shot in the head. Sweeney was found naked from the waist down, and her purse was missing.

The last confirmed victim, 22-year-old Deborah Miles, was found on July 7. Her body was discovered by friends in her apartment. Like the previous victims, she had also been shot in the head. The police began to think these murders might be connected. However, they initially believed Armstrong's murder was unrelated due to the different circumstances.

On August 9, police arrested Larry Lamont White. He was charged with the murders of Sweeney and Miles, along with the attempted murder of another woman, who he had attacked earlier in the year. White's trial included evidence that linked him to the murders. A .38 caliber firearm he had pawned was traced to the bullets used in the killings. Blood found on his clothes was identified as Sweeney's. White had previously been convicted of sexual assault, which further implicated him.

During the trial, White's attorney tried to argue for a lighter sentence, claiming he was drunk and on drugs at the time of the crimes. However, the jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to death for the two murders.

Later, White's death sentence was overturned. The Supreme Court ruled that his confession had been obtained improperly, which created issues with the evidence against him. He eventually pled guilty and received a reduced sentence of 29 years with the possibility of parole. He was released in 2001.

After his release, White had several run-ins with the law for minor offenses. In 2006, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. While in prison, DNA evidence linked him to Pamela Armstrong's murder from 1983, leading to a new murder charge against him.

At his second trial, evidence from his earlier cases was shared to show a pattern in his behavior. Despite his lawyer's protests, White was found guilty of Armstrong's murder and received a death sentence again. He did not attend his sentencing and remained in jail. Since then, White has attempted to have his sentence reduced based on claims of intellectual disability. Both appeals were rejected by the Kentucky Supreme Court.
