On the night of December 27, 2010, Georgia State Patrol Trooper Chadwick ’Chad’ Thomas LeCroy, 38, stopped a vehicle in Atlanta for a broken headlight. The driver, identified as Gregory Favors, refused to stop and led LeCroy on a brief chase that ended when Favors crashed at St. Paul Avenue and Hightower Road. As LeCroy approached the wrecked car, Favors shot three times, striking the trooper once in the neck.

Favors then stole LeCroy’s patrol car and fled, leaving the officer mortally wounded; LeCroy was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital but succumbed to his injuries en route. He was a two-year State Patrol veteran and a married father of two sons and was posthumously promoted to corporal. A manhunt led to Favors’ apprehension nearby. He was charged with felony murder and aggravated assault, pleaded not guilty, and at trial the jury found him guilty of first-degree murder on April 29, 2014; he was sentenced to life without parole.

Does anyone have memories of Trooper LeCroy or information about the crash location on the night he was killed?
