In a tragic turn of events on Easter Sunday, April 1, 2018, a Loganville, Georgia man lost his life inside his own home. Christopher Grier, a 44-year-old male, was shot and killed following a heated argument with his stepson. The fatal encounter took place at their residence on Grove Lake Street in unincorporated Loganville. When Gwinnett County police officers arrived at the scene around 4:15 p.m., they found Grier deceased.
The suspect in the shooting was identified as Grier's 26-year-old stepson, Sean C. Edwards-Tuggle. Witnesses at the scene informed investigators that the shooting occurred during a dispute between the two men. Following the incident, Edwards-Tuggle fled the location in a silver 2010 Dodge Avenger before law enforcement arrived. The Gwinnett County Police Department promptly issued warrants for his arrest on charges of aggravated assault and felony murder.
A manhunt for Edwards-Tuggle ensued, with police releasing his description and vehicle information to the public. The search came to an end just two days later, on Tuesday, April 3, 2018, when Edwards-Tuggle was apprehended in New York. He was taken into custody by the Metro North Transit Authority.
