Killing of Willie David Speight in North Carolina in 1940
Incident
Willie David Speight (1915 - 1941), a farmer, was killed in Lenoir County, North Carolina. A collector came to Speight’s home to collect a $25 furniture bill Speight owed. Speight said he did not have the money and asked the man to come back the next day. The collector left and returned with three or four other men, one of whom was allegedly an officer. The group shot Speight several times, then drove Speight to a hospital, where he died a few days later.
