Terrance Lex Ferguson

On a Thursday in Easton, Pennsylvania, the life of 36-year-old Terrance 'Lex' Ferguson was cut short by an act of gun violence. The incident, which took place on February 23, 2017, was not a random act but was described by authorities as a 'personal' killing.

The fatal encounter occurred in the parking lot of an AutoZone in Palmer Township. It was there that Ferguson was shot in the head. The investigation that followed quickly led law enforcement to a suspect.

An Easton man was identified as the alleged gunman and was taken into custody shortly after the shooting. The swift arrest suggested a clear connection between the victim and the assailant, reinforcing the initial assessment that the motive was of a personal nature.
