Louis Carl Bacon, 39, was shot and killed on June 17, 1990, in Jacksonville, Florida. According to investigations, he was standing in front of Bob’s Confectionary when James Edward Pough shot him twice in the chest. Pough reportedly believed Bacon had cheated him in a sex transaction involving Bacon, who was described as a pimp, and a prostitute named Doretta Elaine Drake.

Pough then shot Drake the same day; the next day he attacked the General Motors Acceptance Corporation office in Jacksonville with a semi-automatic rifle and a revolver, killing eight people and wounding others before taking his own life. Authorities connected Bacon’s killing to that broader two-day killing spree. No further arrests were made in Bacon’s case because Pough was deceased.

Are there witnesses or local recollections about Bob’s Confectionary or the area around June 17, 1990, that could add details about Bacon’s last hours?
