Grayson Kenney Jr. was shot dead in a driveway 17 years ago, and his case remains open.
Baltimore County investigators are working to identify the person who killed the 46-year-old former Marine on November 2, 2009. Kenney was found face down on a driveway in the 3500 block of Tulsa Road. Police received a call at 7:30 a.m. that morning. They later determined the shooting happened earlier, around 1 a.m.
Kenney served four years in the Marine Corps. He worked odd jobs and lived in a shed on a homeowner’s property with the owner’s permission. Investigators described him as a man who led a quiet life. Neighbors said he never had trouble with anyone. The street sits just off Liberty Road and Flannery Lane in the Gwynn Oak neighborhood.
Curtis Bell, a neighbor, heard five gunshots that morning. Bell told WMAR-2 News in 2009 that the nature of the shooting stood out to him. “It was one of those things where, OK, somebody just decided to shoot him,” Bell said. “Because they didn’t just shoot him and run, they shot him five times, and they finally walked away. That’s it.”
Investigators say they still want to hold whoever is responsible accountable. Anyone with information is asked to call Baltimore County investigators at 410-887-3943.
