Kenny Foust, 35, was shot to death on January 28, 1981, in Rockford, Illinois, while working as a gas station attendant. His killing was part of a six-day spree in which Raymond Lee Stewart fatally shot six people. Foust’s death has been described as an execution-style shooting; Stewart also killed another gas station attendant, Kevin Kaiser, that same day.

Stewart’s rampage began January 27, 1981, with the murders of Willie Fredd and his nephew Albert Pearson at Fredd’s Groceries. Stewart reportedly said his motive was racial, claiming he was avenging the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy. He was later arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder.

The killings left the Rockford community deeply shaken and families struggling with the loss. If anyone knew Kenny Foust, his routines, or has information about that week in January 1981, share what you can.
