MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Gregory Livingston was a former officer employed with the City of Horn Lake from August 1998 until he resigned April 2001, a commander at the Horn Lake Police Department said.
He is accused of shooting a man to death in a Kroger parking lot after an argument over loud music is a former police officer from Horn Lake, Mississippi, authorities there confirmed.
A Kroger spokesperson said he was an employee of Allied Universal Security. That company’s Memphis office had no comment Monday.
Livingston, 54, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Alvin Motley, who was shot to death Saturday evening at a Kroger Fuel Center at Poplar and Kirby.
“This man took the love of my life away from me. You didn’t give me no chance to have a future with my husband that I was about to marry in two months,” Rolanda Johnson, Motley’s fiancé told us.
Family members say Motley was visiting Memphis for business and had several projects in the works prior to his death.
A witness told police the incident started as Livingston and Motley argued over the volume of music coming from their car.
The witness said she told Motley to come back to the car, but he then exited the car and told Livingston they should “talk like men.”Memphis Police said Livingston told officers he had shot someone. A 9mm Glock 19 was recovered.
