Danny King was 32 and living in Jackson, Michigan, when he was killed in the autumn of 1982. His death was not isolated but one of at least five victims targeted in a series of brutal murders that preyed on gay men between July and October 1982, a period that spread fear through the community.

Police later identified Donald William Dufour as the man responsible for the killings. Dufour was arrested on October 14, 1982, ending the immediate threat. Court outcomes reached in 1983 included death sentences in Mississippi and Florida for Dufour, reflecting the severity of the crimes.
