District Attorney Locke is a big man who is professional and presents himself well. He is usually fashionably dressed and business-like in demeanor. Locke is assassinated while touring the riot area with Loretta Wager, while she is untouched behind the wheel. A womanizer at heart, he has slept his way through many of the beautiful women who come through his life, and leaves them behind like a train wreck when he tires of them. Loretta is one of those women. When Loretta learns from her daughter Elaine that he has seduced her as well, she arranges a situation that puts her alone with him in a car near where the riots are occurring. She uses the unrest to kill him in cold blood, blaming it on the street riots and a random assassination. Chris Locke dies, after having made the mistake of falling in love with her daughter Elaine.
