On the late morning of March 3, 2021, 22-year-old Colby Ross Grepke was fixing a flat tire on Roxy Street in Prichard, Alabama, when three men approached and opened fire. One of the men was wearing a ski mask. Grepke’s sister had just arrived to help and his two-year-old niece was with her; both witnessed the shooting. After the attackers fled in a nearby vehicle, the sister tried to pursue and was shot at while driving toward them. Emergency services arrived around 11 a.m., but Colby Grepke was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Prichard Police Department Major Crime Division investigated the homicide. Grepke’s mother publicly appealed for information about the shooters, and the family held a memorial service. As of September 2021 no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified. Does anyone have information that could help bring justice for Colby and his family?
