Jerome Tear Drop Grant, 42, was shot and killed in Atlanta on March 12, 2021. Officers responded just before 3:30 p.m. to a report of a person shot at a residence on Alfred Road NW and found Grant suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite life-saving efforts by responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family members reported that a witness uploaded video of the incident to Instagram, a claim the Atlanta police could not immediately confirm. Investigators said the shooting may have stemmed from a dispute with individuals known to Grant.

On April 1, 2021, a 19-year-old, Jerome Pazhedath, was arrested in East Point and charged with Felony Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Felony; he was taken to Atlanta Public Safety Headquarters for interview by the Homicide Unit. Can anyone with information about Grant, the events on Alfred Road NW, or the people involved come forward?
