Lilly Russell, 50, was killed in New Orleans on November 27, 1987, when two men deliberately rammed her car on a city street. When she refused, Bridges fatally shot her.

Less than two weeks later, on December 7, 1987, police attempting to stop Bridges were involved in a confrontation in which he drew a stolen pistol and was shot and killed by officers. Ballistics testing reportedly matched that weapon to the gun used to kill Lilly Russell. That development closed the question of Bridges’ direct involvement; his alleged accomplice, Jimmy Johnson, was scheduled to stand trial as an accessory in the homicide.

Are there readers who knew Lilly or who have information about the events of November 27, 1987, in New Orleans?
