Unserved Warrant Led to Tragedy | Lexington News

A chilling new twist emerges in the Lexington murder case: Dario Williams, 34, charged with killing his ex-girlfriend Candice Mackie and stealing from her home, had a domestic violence warrant issued weeks before the fatal attack — but it was never served. The warrant followed a July incident where Mackie reported being physically assaulted and property damaged at her uncle’s house. Her uncle, Emitt Murphy, says Candice tried to protect their daughter and didn’t want to cut ties — even as she sought help. Now, he’s warning others: abusers are predators who make victims feel guilty. Williams remains in custody as a preliminary hearing looms — and the unserved warrant sparks urgent questions about how justice systems respond before tragedy strikes.
