Wesley Scot Cover, 26, was one of four people killed in a mass shooting at Luigi’s Italian Restaurant in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on August 6, 1993. The shooter, Kenneth Junior French, a 22-year-old Fort Bragg soldier, entered the restaurant armed with two shotguns and a rifle and began firing after reportedly ranting about President Bill Clinton and homosexuals in the military. Pete Parrous, 73; Ethel Parrous, 65; and James F. Kidd, 46, were also killed; seven other people were wounded, including the Parrous’ daughter, Connie Kotsopoulos. Responding officers, including Lieutenant Bill Simons, subdued and arrested French at the scene.

French was charged with four counts of capital murder and eight counts of assault. His defense argued intoxication and a history of anger from childhood trauma; he was convicted on all charges. The jury deadlocked on the death penalty, and French received four consecutive life terms plus an additional 35 years for the assaults. If anyone knew Wesley Scot Cover or was at Luigi’s that night, please share what you remember.
