On the evening of May 12, 1985, in Montgomery, Alabama, 34-year-old Grover Jarrett was shot and killed at the Bellview Street home of Louise Grice. Jarrett was found fatally wounded in a back bedroom, lying on a bed. The violence also claimed Louise Grice’s life after her estranged husband, Robert James Grice, arrived armed with a shotgun.

One of Louise’s daughters was in the house and, after hearing the first shot, saw Grice holding the gun; she tried to intervene and was struck by him with the shotgun. Officers who responded arrested Robert James Grice and recovered a sawed-off barrel of a 16-gauge shotgun from a room where he had been staying. After being advised of his rights, Grice admitted to shooting both victims.

Grice was charged and convicted of the capital murders of Jarrett and Louise Grice; the jury recommended life without parole and the court imposed that sentence. An appeals court later upheld the two murder convictions in 1988. Does anyone have information about Grover Jarrett or the household on Bellview Street that could shed more light on the events leading up to that night?
