Arthur Kirkwood was 24 when he was murdered in Memphis, Tennessee, on June 19, 1995. Jamison. Jamison allegedly premeditated the attack, having talked about plans to rob and kill friends, and on that day shot Kirkwood and stole his maroon Oldsmobile Delta 88.

After leaving Memphis, Jamison’s actions are described as a multi-state crime spree. He is said to have killed 67-year-old gas station attendant James Klug in Arnold, Missouri, then murdered 52-year-old Susan K. Gilmore at a gas station in Illinois before a high-speed chase ended in McLean County, Illinois. Jamison reportedly attempted suicide during the confrontation and suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound that left him permanently blind. He was later convicted for the murders in Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois, receiving life sentences; an Illinois death sentence was later commuted to life without parole.

Does anyone have memories of Arthur, his life in Memphis, or details about the maroon Oldsmobile Delta 88 that might add to the record?
