Biography
Background
Leroy was the owner of Ray's Cafe, a bar that also hosted poker games. However, the business was in great decline. Leroy became a close friend to Lorna Pattison and her husband, a couple who were regulars at the bar and often got into fights. Leroy offered Lorna a sympathetic and comforting shoulder. The two later discussed a joint business venture to open a new bar. In order to secure start-up money and to get rid of her husband, Lorna devised a plan and proposed it to Leroy - her intent being that of murdering Lester to cash in his life insurance. One night, after leaving the bar, Lester was stabbed by Leroy with a steak knife and forced in front of an oncoming car.
Events of L.A. Noire
Leroy took Lorna home, where the two were later visited by Detectives Cole Phelps and Stefan Bekowsky, who were investigating the hit and run. However, Phelps and Bekowsky became instantly suspicious of Lorna and her relationship with Leroy. Lester's autopsy later confirmed the true cause of death. With the steak knife as evidence, Phelps and Bekowsky confronted Leroy, and possibly Lorna (See Trivia). Leroy armed himself in an attempt to either escape or neutralize his perpetrators. He was ultimately caught and imprisoned, or shot and killed for resisting arrest.
