On April 4, 1968, Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. was on the balcony in front of his motel room at the Loraine Motel in Memphis. At 6:01 p.m., a shot rang out. The bullet entered Dr. King's cheek, fracturing his jaw, neck, and through the jugular before lodging in his shoulder. He was taken to the hospital, before being pronounced dead at 7:05 p.m. The shooter was later identified as James Earl Ray, who was an escaped prisoner from Missouri. He was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport before being extradited back to Tennessee. He plead guilty on March 10, 1969 and was sentenced to 99 years in prison. King's funeral was attended by 300,000 people in his hometown of Atlanta. Over the years, many conspiracies have arose from the King Assassination. One of which being, the government killed King and used Ray as a scapegoat.
