Patricia May Ladebush Grant, 72, was killed inside the Speedway on Battleground Avenue in Greensboro, North Carolina on July 1, 2021. Known as Pat, she managed that store and was described as a mother, grandmother, sister and friend to many. Surveillance footage captured the incident when a 19-year-old, Avion Bell, entered the store, demanded money and shot her after she refused.

Bell was arrested six days later and charged with first-degree murder; he remains in jail awaiting trial and had a court date scheduled for July 18. The community has memorialized Patricia with a bench and plaque outside the store, customers have shared condolences and memories, and the business upgraded its security with a fence and improved cameras.

If anyone knew Patricia, worked with her at the Speedway, or has information about that day, please come forward with what you remember.
