Background of the Assassination

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN, on April 4, 1968.

Conspiracy Theories

In December 1993, decades after the murder, Loyd Jowers, a white man from Memphis, asserted that the Mafia and the U.S. government were involved in a conspiracy against Martin Luther King. Jowers claimed that he participated in a conspiracy to kill Dr. King, along with an alleged Mafia figure, Memphis police officers, and a man named Raoul. For 30 years, others have similarly alleged that Ray was Raoul's unwitting pawn and that a conspiracy orchestrated Dr. King’s murder.

Investigations and Findings

These varied theories have generated several comprehensive government investigations regarding the assassination, none of which confirmed the existence of any conspiracy. The United States Department of Justice has examined all allegations and presented its findings in this report.
