What happened
Stanley Lamar Grant was killed on February 20, 2015 in the Homewood/Birmingham area when police conducted a search-warrant operation. Officials alleged that Grant fired a weapon toward officers and they returned fire. This allegation appears in contemporaneous case compilations; an independent account of the exact shots, warnings or alternatives was not established in this research pass. Public remembrance adds a dimension missing from incident tables: Grant's obituary lists his June 9, 1976 birth date, funeral at Mount Carmel Missionary Baptist Church and burial at Elmwood Cemetery. Friends and relatives wrote about his humor, friendship and family ties. Any full investigation should identify the warrant's underlying purpose, footage if available, the positions of those present, and any independent review of the use of deadly force.
