Grady Jenkins, a 64-year-old Black man from Decatur, Georgia, was killed after an act of generosity turned deadly. On June 10, 2018, police said Jenkins stopped at a Citgo station, picked up a young man to bring back to Jenkins’s home on Oregon Trail for yard work, and was shot in the stomach when the man demanded his wallet and SUV keys. Jenkins was conscious long enough to tell police what happened before he was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

DeKalb County police later released surveillance video they said showed the suspect running from Jenkins’s yard. The suspect was described only in broad terms as a teenager or someone in his late teens, and police said they believed he might still be in the Decatur area. Memorial records and reporting describe the case as an open search for the gunman rather than one that led to a named defendant. Jenkins’s funeral took place in mid-June 2018.

If anyone knew Jenkins or has information about that June 10 pickup and the person who ran from his yard, please come forward with what can help the investigation.
