Dr. Thomas Grant Shock, a recently retired podiatrist from Lodi, California, was shot dead at his home on August 1, 2018. He was 67. Shock founded Lodi Podiatry in 1985 and was active in the Lodi Tokay Rotary Club and other local charities; he was remembered for his enthusiasm, infectious laugh, and dedication to family and profession.

Investigators later determined Shock’s death was the result of a murder-for-hire plot stemming from a grievance by Robert Elmo Lee over the treatment of Lee’s late wife, Bonnie Lee, a former patient who had filed a complaint after a procedure that led to a partial foot amputation. Lee allegedly hired three men to carry out the killing; Mallory Stewart is reported to have been the gunman, Christopher Costello was implicated in the scheme, and Raymond Jacquett IV acted as the getaway driver.

If anyone knew Dr. Shock, his practice, or saw anything unusual around his home in Lodi in the days before August 1, 2018, please share what you know.
