Colin Gray Murder Trial: What the Prosecution's Timeline Reveals

Colin Gray Murder Trial: What the Prosecution's Timeline Reveals

The trial of Colin Gray is underway in Barrow County, Georgia — and the prosecution's opening statement laid out a timeline that may be the most detailed case for parental accountability ever presented in an American courtroom. Gray faces 29 felony counts, including second-degree murder, in connection with the September 4, 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School that killed four people and wounded nine others. Prosecutors allege he gave his son Colt Gray the AR-style rifle used in the attack as a Christmas gift — months after FBI-flagged threats were traced to their home and deputies warned him to keep his son away from firearms.

The evidence prosecutors have outlined includes a 2021 internet search by Colt for "how to kill your dad," a shrine to Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz found in the teenager's bedroom, a counseling request where Colin described his son as volatile, reports that Colt told his father he was hearing voices days before the attack, and a text from Colt to Colin that allegedly read: "Whenever something happens, just know the blood is on your hands." When law enforcement arrived at Colin's home after the shooting, he reportedly said "I knew it" before anyone told him what had happened.

The defense argues Colin was a struggling single father whose son deliberately concealed his plans. They've told jurors a mental health appointment was scheduled for the day after the shooting. The prosecution counters that this isn't about prediction — it's about a father who was warned repeatedly and allegedly kept an assault rifle in his son's bedroom anyway. This trial builds on the Crumbley precedent but with significantly more severe charges. If convicted on all counts, Colin Gray faces up to 180 years in prison. We break down the full case and what it means for the future of parental accountability in school shootings.
