Fred Brown Lane Jr., a 24-year-old African American and former NFL running back for the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts, was shot to death on July 6, 2000, inside his Charlotte, North Carolina, home. His body was found just inside the front door with a still-packed bag nearby and his keys left in the door lock; reports say he was shot as soon as he walked through the door and then shot a second time in the back of the head.

Police say the killing occurred during a domestic dispute and that his wife, 25-year-old Deidra Lane, fired the shots. She claimed self-defense, while prosecutors argued the killing was premeditated and motivated by a $5 million life insurance policy. Deidra Lane was arrested on first-degree murder charges, later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2003, and was sentenced to seven years and 11 months, serving nearly six years before release.

Does anyone have memories of Fred from his time with the Panthers or Colts, or information about the events in Charlotte that night?
