John F. Kennedy, US Senator, was shot on June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

Witnesses reported hearing shots and seeing a man with a gun being subdued by others. The gunman was described as a stocky male negro with a black jacket.

Richard Drew, a photographer, witnessed the shooting from about 45 feet away and saw Senator Kennedy enter the kitchen area before being shot. George S. Mioch, another witness, reported firing his pistol at the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club on June 4, 1968, but did not shoot Senator Kennedy.

Lill Eppridge, a photographer for Life Magazine, was with Senator Kennedy in Room 512 at the Ambassador Hotel when she heard what sounded like pop, pop, and then a very rapid four more pops. Fred Freed, another photographer, was at the hotel on June 4, 1968, but did not witness the shooting.

Jack Callivan, an advance man for Senator Kennedy's campaign, was interviewed on June 21, 1968, and stated that he heard the shots while in the kitchen area. Albert V. Ellis, a witness to the shooting, reported hearing a female yell, "We killed Kennedy" as she walked back towards the stage.

The FBI interviewed multiple witnesses, including George Green, who provided detailed descriptions of the events surrounding the assassination. Witnesses also reported being interviewed by police and FBI agents, including George Benz.

Key individuals involved in the investigation include Frank Manitewick, J.W. Gallivan Jr., William Barry, Roosevelt Greer, Earl C. Williams, and Raymond Johnson.

The key locations where the events took place were the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, California; the pantry area, kitchen, and main lobby of the Ambassador Hotel.

Key evidence collected during the investigation includes witness statements describing Senator Kennedy lying on the floor with a gunshot wound to his head, and the gunman holding a small-caliber revolver in his hand. A witness also reported that the gun was possibly a 22 cal. revolver.
