On the night of January 29, 2018, 28-year-old Matthew Grant of Columbus, Georgia, was shot in an apartment complex on North Lumpkin Road and suffered a fatal chest wound. First responders found him in critical condition; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward at Piedmont Columbus Regional hospital. The Muscogee County Coroner’s Office identified Grant the next day and his family was notified.

Columbus police detectives developed leads quickly and within days had sought arrest warrants for 23-year-old Dequandrea Truitt in connection with the killing. Truitt was later taken into custody, and a Muscogee County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging him with malice and felony murder related to Matthew Grant’s death.

Are there any witnesses or neighbors who remember hearing or seeing anything on that January night?
