David Creed Rogers, 84; deputy shot in suspected racist attack in 1965

David Creed Rogers, one of two black men shot by snipers after being hired as deputies in southeast Louisiana’s Washington Parish four decades ago, has died. He was 84.

Rogers’ death Monday at Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Franklinton, La., came days after the FBI said it was chasing new leads in the 1965 shooting that left him blind in one eye and killed his partner, Oneal Moore. The cause of death was not released.

SNIP

(Last week, the FBI announced it had reopened the case because of new leads. It had previously been reopened in 1990 and again in 2001. The prime suspect died in 2003.)

Did this case ever air on lifetime? I have no recollection of this case but have recently met one of the family members of someone involved.

Yes, it was shown on Lifetime.

Hmmm. Now I want to see it. I'll have to see if they start airing them again.

This segment was included on the "Bizarre Murders" DVD set as well (though I think it's a bit of a stretch to call this murder "bizarre").
