A man is shot to death in his residence On April 28, 1997, Robert Allen "Mickey" Ledwell, aged 29, was tragically shot and killed outside his residence in the Overland Heights area of Greensboro, North Carolina. His murder remains unsolved, despite continued efforts by his family and law enforcement to find justice. Mickey was a well-liked individual, known for his sense of humor and ability to bring a smile to those around him.
He worked at Guilford Mills and was beloved by his family, especially his mother, Patricia Roberts, who has been tirelessly seeking answers for over two decades.
The case has lingered for 26 years without resolution. Patricia Roberts has spoken openly about the emotional toll her son's death has had on her and her family, expressing her ongoing grief and the lasting pain of not knowing who was responsible for Mickey’s death. She has organized rallies and advocated against gun violence in her community, all while keeping her son's memory alive. Despite the passing years, her hope for justice endures, and there remains a reward of $10,000 for information leading to an arrest.
Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information to come forward, as both Crime Stoppers and the Governor's Office have pledged rewards in hopes of bringing closure to this tragic case.
