| dbo:abstract | Ken Rex McElroy (June 1, 1934 – July 10, 1981) was an American criminal and convicted attempted murderer who resided in Skidmore, Missouri, United States. He was known as "the town bully", and his unsolved killing became the focus of international attention. Over the course of his life, McElroy was accused of dozens of felonies, including assault, child molestation, statutory rape, arson, animal cruelty, hog and cattle rustling, and burglary. In all, he was indicted 21 times but escaped conviction each time, except for the last. In 1981, McElroy was convicted of attempted murder in the shooting of the town's 70-year-old grocer Ernest "Bo" Bowenkamp. McElroy successfully appealed the conviction and was released on bond, after which he engaged in an ongoing harassment campaign against Bowenkamp and others who were sympathetic to Bowenkamp, including the town's Church of Christ minister. He appeared in a local bar, the D&G Tavern, armed with an M1 Garand rifle and bayonet, and later threatened to kill Bowenkamp. The next day, McElroy was shot to death in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck on Skidmore's main street. He was struck by bullets from at least two different firearms, in front of a crowd of people estimated as numbering between 30 and 46. To date, no one has been charged in connection with McElroy's death. (en) Ken Rex McElroy (1 Juni 1934 – 10 Juli 1981) adalah warga , , Amerika Serikat. Ia dikenal sebagai "tukang rusuh kota". Kasus pembunuhannya yang belum terselesaikan sampai sekarang menjadi perhatian internasional. Semasa hidupnya, McElroy dituduh melakukan banyak pelanggaran hukum, termasuk penyerangan, pelecehan anak, pemerkosaan di bawah umur, pembakaran, , dan perampokan. Ia dituntut sebanyak 21 kali, tetapi selalu bebas kecuali dari tuntutan terakhir. Pada tahun 1981, McElroy menjadi tersangka penembakan yang melukai pemilik toko berusia 70 tahun, Ernest "Bo" Bowenkamp, pada tahun sebelumnya. McElroy naik banding dan dibebaskan dengan jaminan, lalu melakukan perisakan rutin terhadap Bowenkamp, pendeta di kota itu, dan orang-orang yang membela Bowenkamp. Ia datang ke bar setempat, D&G Tavern, sambil menenteng senapan M1 Garand dan bayonet dan mengancam akan membunuh Bowenkamp. Keesokan siangnya, McElroy ditembak mati ketika sedang duduk bersama istrinya, Trena, di truk miliknya di pusat kota Skidmore. Peluru yang mengenainya berasal dari sedikitnya dua senjata api. Ia ditembak di tengah kerumunan 30 sampai 46 orang. Sampai sekarang tidak ada satu orang pun yang dihukum atas kematian McElroy. (in) |
