Ronnie Hull was 32 when he was killed on July 17, 1988, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, one of four people who died in the Old Salisbury Road mass shooting. The shooter, 24-year-old Michael Charles Hayes, fired from the centerline of Old Salisbury Road in front of his parents’ moped shop and wounded nine people in total.

Hayes told authorities he believed passersby were demons and needed to be killed. His defense argued he was insane at the time; a jury returned a Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity verdict and he was committed to Dorothea Dix State Mental Hospital in Raleigh. The verdict provoked protests and ongoing public debate, and Hayes’ yearly petitions for release have met opposition from victims’ families.

If anyone knew Ronnie Hull or was in Winston-Salem on July 17, 1988, does anyone have memories or information to share about him or that day?
