Abstract The weight distribution of a q-ary [n,k,d] linear code is an important research subject in coding theory. In a linear code, a code symbol is said to have locality r if it can be recovered by accessing at most r other code symbols. A q-ary locally repairable code (LRC) is an [n,k,d] linear code over F_q such that every code symbol has locality r, and is said to be optimal if the minimum distance attains the well-known Singleton-like bound. In this paper, we focus on the weight distributions of q-ary optimal LRCs with locality 2, minimum distance 5 and even dimension k. By analyzing the parity-check matrices involving locality, it is shown that the weight distributions of all q-ary optimal LRCs with locality 2, distance 5, even dimension k and code length n can be uniquely determined and explicit expressions of the weight distributions are given.
