Georgia school shooting suspect’s parents’ former landlord says he had a “chaotic tenant”
Georgia : The parents of the suspect in the Georgia school massacre were characterized by their previous landlord as “chaotic tenants” who were heartless and vicious.
Colt’s parents gained notoriety after their 14-year-old son was taken into custody after four people were killed at Winder’s Apalachee High School. During the incident, nine more people were injured.
According to reports, his father gave his son the rifle used in the massacre as a Christmas present.
Gray’s landlord gives disturbing information about a couple
The couple’s former landlord, who asked to remain anonymous, said that he was forced to evict Marcee Gray, 43, and Colin, 54, because of their disruptive ways.
When they were evicted from the rental house in 2020 for nonpayment of rent, the couple—who are now separated—made the decision to leave their dogs behind. He said it was even more shocking that they just came back to get their firearms, which they supposedly got by breaking through the front door.
“The craziest part of all is that they left [their] two German Shepherds,” the landlord stated in an interview with The Independent, speculated that maybe the new apartment they leased “did not allow dogs.” When he tried to get the couple to return their dogs to them, they didn’t answer his calls. “They disregarded his calls and showed no interest.”
He recalled his encounters with Grays and said that because of little factors, such as Colin’s reluctance to shake his hand or establish eye contact, he had a “bad feeling” about them right away.
The landlord said that Marcee, the ex-wife, had a long criminal history for drug use and seemed to be “scared as hell” of her husband.
The couple fell behind on their rent, and shortly after, the family—which included their three kids—had to vacate the rented property.
Colin Gray and Colt showed up for the hearing
Colt Gray appeared in court on Friday to answer to murder charges; his father, charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter, was ordered to stay in custody after refusing to post bail.
The teenager was told by Judge Currie Mingledorff that he was charged with four felonies counts of felony murder, but as he is still a minor, the charges do not carry the death sentence. Life without parole would be the maximum punishment.
