Robert Allen Mickey Ledwell was 29 when he was shot and killed outside his home in the Overland Heights area of Greensboro, North Carolina, on April 28, 1997. He worked at Guilford Mills and was remembered by family and friends for his sense of humor and ability to bring a smile to those around him.

The murder remains unsolved. His mother, Patricia Roberts, has been publicly pursuing answers for decades, speaking about the emotional toll and organizing rallies while advocating against gun violence. A reward of $10,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest, and Crime Stoppers and the Governor’s Office have also pledged rewards.

If anyone knew Robert Mickey Ledwell or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to help bring justice and closure to his family.
