Grady Maurice Lipsey, a 39-year-old Black man and native of Savannah, was found dead the morning of June 20, 2012, beside a house in the 500 block of Cleland Street in the Hudson Hill area after a passerby flagged down police. Officers arrived just after 8 a.m. and discovered Lipsey suffering from at least one gunshot wound; a later police update said he had been shot multiple times and was found beside a relative’s house on Cleland Street. An obituary noted the personal loss to family and community that followed the public crime scene.

Detectives worked the case and Lipsey’s family and investigators met with news media seeking leads, but by June 2013 his killing remained unsolved. No suspect identification or arrest had been announced and there are no reports of charges, a trial, or a conviction tied to his death. If anyone knew Lipsey, saw activity on Cleland Street that morning, or has information that could help, please come forward to investigators.
