Kenneth Crall was a bystander who was shot and killed during the D.C. race riots of summer 1919. He was an orphan, his nearest relative being an uncle in Cincinatti. William Laney was indicted for first-degree murder in his death. In April 1920, the coroner ordered Crall's body to be exhumed in order to extract the fatal bullets for evidence in Laney's trial.
