March 28, 1948 - William Ray Bonner
A single afternoon in April 1973 left six people dead and nine wounded across the South Side of Los Angeles, the work of one man moving through a neighborhood before police finally stopped him in a shootout. The attack had no apparent ideological motive documented in the record — only the sudden, concentrated lethality of it, and the lives cut short before Bonner was brought down and eventually sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.
