Lonnie Lee Ludvigson, a 48-year-old Army veteran and stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor, was shot and killed on January 9, 2016, in Memphis, Tennessee. He had been working as a trucker for U-Ship and was in the 700 block of Prescott when four masked men in a blue car approached him in what authorities believe was an attempted robbery. As they walked him toward their vehicle, Ludvigson tried to flee and was shot. A neighbor attempted CPR, but Ludvigson was pronounced dead at the scene.

A CrimeStoppers tip eventually led investigators to identify two suspects. Eighteen-year-old Devonta Vaughn was arrested in Memphis and 19-year-old DeMarco McKinley was taken into custody in Dallas, Texas, then extradited to Memphis. Both men were indicted on murder charges for Ludvigson’s death.

Are there anyone who remembers seeing a blue car in the 700 block of Prescott that afternoon or who has other information about that approach?
