Gregory Perry, a 51-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on January 17, 2017, at the Southern Comfort Mobile Home Park in Clearwater, Florida. Perry was working there as part of a maintenance crew assigned by the Labor Ready temporary employment agency when he got into repeated confrontations with a co-worker, 41-year-old Clifton Lamont Moody, who reportedly arrived at the site intoxicated.

Witnesses say the argument escalated and Moody pulled out a handgun and shot Perry in the torso. Deputies and paramedics attempted resuscitation, but Perry died at Mease Countryside Hospital. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office arrested Moody as he tried to flee the mobile home park; he was charged with second-degree murder and violation of probation for prior offenses including kidnapping and sexual battery.

The community mourned Perry’s death and investigators continued their work. If anyone has information about Perry, the events that day, or the lead-up to the shooting, please come forward.
