In the early hours of a Tuesday morning, on September 13, 2016, a man named Melvin Grayson III was seen for the last time at his home located at 6041 West Thomas Road in Phoenix, Arizona. At approximately 3:00 a.m., he was alive and well within the confines of his residence. However, this would be the last time anyone would see him alive.
Sometime after that morning, Grayson was found deceased inside his home.
The circumstances surrounding his death were immediately suspicious to authorities. Adding to the mystery, his vehicle had been stolen from the residence. The car was later found abandoned somewhere else in Phoenix, but the person or persons who had taken it, and who were responsible for Grayson's death, were nowhere to be found.
The investigation into the death of Melvin Grayson III was launched, but no immediate suspects were identified. The case has since been featured by Silent Witness, an organization that publicizes unsolved crimes in the hope of generating new leads from the public. To this day, the suspect in the death of Melvin Grayson III remains unknown, and the case continues to be an open investigation, leaving his family and the community without answers or a sense of justice for his untimely death.
