He was transported to a local hospital but later died of his injuries. Neighbors knew him as Greg or G Code; he worked with a cousin’s commercial cleaning business and was remembered for helping family and friends with moves, painting, yard work and attending his nieces’ school events. He was the father of two daughters, Loyalty and Amiyah.
