Beau Kristin Grauer was a 50-year-old man from Memphis remembered for his charisma, sharp humor, and devotion to his three sons, Ayden, Cannon, and Eli. He worked in construction sales and was described as someone who loved his family above all else and who could light up a room.

On the night of July 24, 2022, Grauer was shot and killed during a reported home invasion at his residence on Hawthorne Street near the Vollintine-Evergreen area of Memphis.

Less than a year after Beau’s death, his brother Shea Grauer was also killed in Memphis, compounding the family’s loss. A candlelight vigil was held to honor Beau and his family continues to seek answers and justice.
