Isaac Grace, a 29-year-old African American man, was found dead on May 1, 2014, in room 213 of the Econo Lodge on North Monroe Street in Tallahassee, Florida. He was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds; court documents say between four and seven shots were fired, with bullet holes in the window and door and 9 mm casings scattered around the scene. Witnesses reported hearing shots around 7 a.m. that morning.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Amber Ward as a suspect. Ward, who worked as an escort and used the nickname Chocolate Bunny in her online ads, had rented the motel room using a Mobile, Alabama address and phone number that linked to a Backpage ad showing a heavyset black woman with square-framed glasses and tattoos. Hotel staff said a woman matching that description had checked into the room earlier that morning. Police tracked the phone number to the area near the time of the shooting and, after searching Ward’s vehicle, recovered two spent 9 mm casings consistent with those at the scene. Ward was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery and was booked into the Leon County Jail without bond; a grand jury later indicted her.

Does anyone have information about Isaac Grace or the events surrounding that morning that could help clarify what happened?
