Amistica Ganean Grell, 35, was fatally shot on the front porch of her home in the 600 block of West 40th Street in the Cuyler-Brownsville neighborhood of Savannah on the evening of Sunday, March 24, 2013. She was sitting on the porch when shots rang out around 10:30 p.m.; police found her body there when they responded.

In the months after the killing, Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police announced they were seeking a person of interest named Mark Joseph Harris, 37, for questioning. No arrests were made and the investigation later went cold; the case is now with the SCMPD Cold Case Unit. Family members continue to hold memorial gatherings at a tree near the site where she was killed while law enforcement continues to appeal for information.
