Shawn Gray was 22 when he traveled to the Atlanta area in January 2021 to celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday. On the morning of January 17, 2021, Gray was ambushed outside a Cobb County hotel and shot multiple times. He was struck four times, tried to flee, and was later found dead on a rocky embankment outside the hotel by a maintenance worker.

Investigators say the killing resulted from a case of mistaken identity. Jamaar Bracey allegedly targeted Gray while seeking revenge for a Chicago shooting that injured his nephew. Bracey reportedly selected Gray after searching a Facebook group and linked him only by a tenuous connection: Gray was dating the mother of someone who had once lived at the Chicago shooting victim’s residence. Bracey is accused of stalking Gray in Atlanta, placing a GPS tracker on Gray’s rental car, and returning to the hotel with an accomplice, Ashley Davis, in the pre-dawn hours when the shooting occurred.

Does anyone have information about Gray’s movements in Atlanta that night or recall seeing the rental car in the hotel parking area?
