James Earl Ray shot Martin Luther King Jr. from a boarding house located across the street from the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. On April 4, 1968, Ray fired a .30-06 caliber rifle from the bathroom window of the second floor of the boarding house, striking King on the balcony of the motel. This location provided a clear line of sight to King, who was standing outside at the time.
