On march 17, 1986, james bledsoe had been walking around the all star inn motel at 5522 n. Pan am (ih-35) where he lived.

Police and the medical examiner were called to the motel, and james was pronounced dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Witnesses described the suspect as a black male, 20–25 years old, with short black hair. He was 5'10" to 6" tall, 160 lbs, wearing blue jeans and a green jersey or shirt with white lettering. Witnesses also reported seeing the suspect get into a ford on the passenger side. The ford was described as a 1979–80 4-door, possibly yellow in color. It was also reported that two black females were seen leaving the area in a dark car (both were recognized as local prostitutes). The previous day, james had asked a suspected black male pimp to leave the motel property after some of the motel workers complained about him. The murder could be related to this incident.Agency
