Melvin Grigley, a 51-year-old sergeant with 26 years on the Atlanta Police Department, was fatally shot during an attempted carjacking in the early hours of July 2, 2000. He was off-duty and visiting a friend in College Park when, around 1:00 a.m. in the driveway, three teenagers approached his vehicle intending to steal it. Grigley identified himself as a police officer and an exchange of gunfire followed; he was struck in the chest and mortally wounded but managed to return fire and wound one of the suspects.

The three teenagers were later identified as Leslie Singleton, Michael Waters, and David Brandon Mierez. The weapon used by the suspects had been stolen from an undercover sheriff’s deputy just days earlier. All three were arrested in the days after the shooting. The shooter, then 16, was charged with murder; Waters and Mierez, both 17 at the time, took plea deals to testify against Singleton. On March 21, 2001, Singleton was convicted of felony murder and aggravated assault, and all three received life sentences.

Did anyone in College Park at the time see activity in that neighborhood that night or remember vehicles or people who might connect to this case?
