A Conyers family was wiped out in a domestic incident that left three people dead on March 20, 2023. Seventeen-year-old Heritage High School student Joy Gray was found shot to death at the family home on Sugar Creek Lane. Her parents, 51-year-old Corey Gray and 50-year-old Tamekio Gray, were also located inside the residence with fatal gunshot wounds.

Rockdale County sheriff’s deputies responded to a shots-fired call just after midnight and found the three victims. Joy’s 21-year-old brother, Jailon Gray, remained at the scene and was taken into custody without incident. Investigators say an argument preceded the shootings; Jailon Gray was charged with three counts of felony murder and three counts of aggravated assault. During his initial court appearance he reportedly told law enforcement he killed two of the victims and said he did not remember what happened to the third. A judge denied bond.

Anyone who knew the family or has information about what led to this tragedy is asked to come forward.
