"Lacy Ferguson is known in Modesto as "the other Lacy." She was the other young woman from the Modesto area to be murdered a few years ago. But unlike the Laci Peterson case, which was solved, this murder remains a mystery. That’s why Ferguson's mom, Boni Driskill, held a candlelight vigil in Modesto Thursday evening. She wants family and friends to continue honoring and remembering her daughter. She also wants one of the people who witnessed the murder to finally step forward and offer some information. "We thought six months in, we'd be in court or something, but no, this is the third year. It's mind boggling," Driskill said. Ferguson was shot outside a southwest Modesto convenience store in August of 2003. She was walking toward her car when gang gunfire sprayed the parking lot. Police said Ferguson clearly was not the intended victim. Sheriff’s detectives say that’s why this killing remains unsolved. The many witnesses are likely too afraid of the gunmen to say anything. Driskill said she has new hope after learning that the TV program, "America’s Most Wanted", will soon feature the unsolved mystery. Ferguson was the mother of a 3-year-old when she was murdered. That little girl turns 6 this week, and continues to live with her grandmother. There is a very simple birthday wish in that household: a phone call to police, offering the name of the killer."

Thoughts? The above is an admittedly old article from when Lacy's case was about to be featured on America's Most Wanted. Her murder was eventually aired on the January 20th, 2007 episode of AMW. Unfortunately the full archive link doesn't exist anymore to go into full detail. I see nothing to suggest the case has been solved, so I'm assuming no one has been charged yet. If there has been or is a change, just contact our website's admin contact form and I'll make a note of it. It's pretty said that you can just go about your daily routine, doing absolutely nothing wrong, and still get killed because a bunch of thugs decided to shoot it out with each other and leave innocent people in their cross hairs.
