Angela Michelle Bledsoe, 44, was shot multiple times and killed on October 22, 2018, in her Montclair, New Jersey, home. That morning she had dropped off her and her partner’s daughter at school and was planning to move out of the residence she shared with her live-in boyfriend, James Ray III; she had an appointment with a realtor scheduled for later that day.

After the shooting, Ray left the country, traveling first to Mexico and then to Cuba. Before departing he picked up the daughter from school and left her with his brother at a restaurant. Authorities later located an 18-page diary Ray wrote in the days after the killing in which he claimed he acted in self-defense.

Ray was captured abroad and returned to the United States to face charges. At trial prosecutors argued the scene had been staged and that Ray’s conduct after the shooting was inconsistent with self-defense. A jury convicted him of murder and weapons offenses in May 2023.

If anyone knew Angela, her routine, or has information about the events that led to her death, please share what is known with investigators.
