In the late hours of a Wednesday evening in Mobile, Alabama, the life of Gregory Sledge, a 29-year-old Black/African American male, was tragically cut short. On July 22, 2020, at approximately 9:48 p.m., officers from the Mobile Police Department were dispatched to the Crossings at Pinebrook Apartments on Azalea Road following reports of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Gregory Sledge suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was quickly transported to a local hospital, but his injury proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced deceased.
The investigation into Sledge's death was immediately classified as a homicide. Despite the efforts of law enforcement, the case has remained unsolved, leaving a void in the lives of his family and friends.
