    I knew that was him and I played football with him too. I am class of 88 and I don’t think we will be seeing him this summer at the reunion. To bad he turned out this way.

    How did a “habitual violent offender” even get out of prison to begin with to commit this murder?

    Carl Grandison graduated in 1988. I am from the class of “88″ T.H.S. and played football with Carl.

    I think he went to Tate High and graduated in 1988. I am pretty sure. If so he is from the Cantonment area just off Muscogee Rd. The Grandison’s I know are good people. I hope they catch him soon.

    I am sure when the law gets behind him and he runs, everyone is okay with “oh well, we will get him later”
