The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna

Featuring a Q&A with filmmakers on Tue, Nov 12 after the 7:30pm showing

On a cold December morning in 2003, the body of a young Black federal prosecutor was discovered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He had suffered over thirty stab wounds, including a brutal slash that severed his carotid artery.

At the time of his death, Jonathan Luna was prosecuting a major murder and drug case in Baltimore. The strange circumstances of the 38-year-old assistant D.A.’s demise made headlines in every major US newspaper, plus network and cable news.

Three months later, reports by these “anonymous” officials from law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, stated that Luna’s death was a “probable suicide.”

Only author Bill Keisling, in his investigative book, The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna, has done a detailed examination of Jonathan Luna’s life and death in twenty years. Department, no federal authority has spoken publicly about what they know.

The Midnight Ride of Jonathan Luna, a documentary by Daniel Cohen, reopens the case, reinvestigates the witnesses, interviews Jonathan's friends, colleagues, and law-school fellows, reenacts the high-profile trial in the days before his death, retraces the Midnight Ride and the failed conclusions from 25 years ago. And demands to know:  WHO KILLED JONATHAN LUNA?
