A 1964 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, "Doctor King", as he was known, was talking to members of his entourage, just before leaving for dinner, when he was hit on the right side of the neck by a single, fatal high-powered projectile. caliber, fired from an estimated distance of 50 to 100 meters. The bullet exploded in his jaw and hurled him against the building's inner wall. King was even taken to the nearby Saint Joseph hospital.
