A man who has remained in jail since 2022 in connection with the death of a 6-month-old in an Atlanta drive-by shooting was sentenced to prison Thursday, court documents revealed.

Grayson Matthew Fleming-Gray was in his car seat in the back of his mother’s vehicle when he was shot and killed Jan. 24, 2022, outside a Food Mart corner store on Anderson Avenue. It was a place his mother, Kerri Gray, frequently visited to buy groceries, she told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the day after the incident.

One of the alleged suspects, Dequasie Little, entered a negotiated plea deal on several charges, including murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, documents show.
