On the morning of January 26, 2019, a man returning to a Moreland Avenue residence in Athens, Georgia, found 36-year-old Latisha Gresham in the hallway with a fatal gunshot wound. The man called 911 at about 8:20 a.m.; officers arrived and the county coroner pronounced Gresham dead at the scene. A 40-year-old man later identified as Gresham’s boyfriend, Marion Adkins Jr., was inside the house and did not report the shooting before police arrived.

Adkins told investigators he and Gresham had been arguing when a gun he was holding accidentally discharged. He was arrested and indicted on charges including malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. During pretrial proceedings his defense requested a psychological evaluation, and his history of schizoaffective disorder was disclosed. A jury trial in June 2021 resulted in convictions on all counts and a life sentence with the possibility of parole plus five additional years; parole eligibility begins after a minimum of 30 years.

Did anyone in the Athens area know Latisha Gresham or have information about her last hours?
