This is Gerard Grandzol, 38, a Philadelphia father who was killed Thursday in one of the most horrific and senseless acts of violence imaginable. Two men stopped Grandzol in front of his home in a carjacking. Grandzol would not turn over the keys of his car until he got his 2-year-old toddler out of the car. One of the men proceeded to murder him in front of his daughter.
Grandzol, 28, had just returned from a day out with his toddler and his dog to the park where they played Frisbee. Police say that two men Maurice Roberts, 21, and Marvin Roberts, 16, , demanded his wallet and car keys. Grandzol complied by insisted on getting his two-year-old child first. That is when Marvin Roberts (left) allegedly shot him twice in the face.
The two robbers ran from the scene and dropped Grandzol’s wallet. They were identified with camera at a train station. Maurice Roberts was arrested first and his younger brother was arrested later in New Jersey. There were also reportedly home security cameras that captured the murder.
Both suspects were reportedly have prior criminal records.
A Go Fund Me site have been created for his two children and wife.
I hope you’ve got death penalty in Philadelphia.
The victim’s family should be the ones empowered to administer whatever punishment they see fit for these two murderers. There is no certainty of punishment in our justice system today. I’m certain the family could exact closure to this crime in a few short seconds. Then the Judge could say, “Case closed!!!”, and move on. There would be no opportunity for a repeat crime for these two.
Can’t expect more from afrika people… all of them should travel back to black land.
My w Polsce bronimy się przed tym ale ue czyli niemcy chcą nam to zrobić co mają u siebie.
Współczucie dla rodziny zabitego. Sam jestem ojcem.
it’s horrible. and the same thing is happening in europe, all over the west european countries, and european estabilishment pretends that evrything is fine!
Does the DEATH penalty exist in PA? If so, then both should get the worst.
They’re all ready beating the gun control drum.
The murderer was on parole.
He should have never been on the street.
They turn animals loose on the street and then attempt to take away our ability to protect ourselves.
More financial resources and press about guns will be spent on the evil person who did this than will be spent to assist the family impacted by this, especially the 2 year-old child.
Lucky lady.
CV Brown – I don’t know if I am older than dirt, but I am a war baby, born during WWII.
CV Brown – I remember the days when the bears came up to your car. Now they are mostly in the northern part of the park. I was there after an earthquake in the late 50s and it screwed up the geysers in the park. Some that hadn’t erupted in years suddenly were active, etc.
