Death of Alabama State University Student Ginnia Grimes Under Investigation by Authorities
ATLANTA, GA — Authorities are investigating the death of 21-year-old Ginnia Grimes, a junior at Alabama State University, who was fatally shot under circumstances still being reviewed by law enforcement.
Grimes, a criminal justice major and beloved member of ASU’s Honey Beez Dance Team, was known both on campus and in her hometown for her vibrant spirit, captivating talent, and determination to succeed.
A 2021 graduate of Mays High School in Southwest Atlanta, Grimes gained viral fame during her high school years when a video of one of her dance performances circulated widely on social media and was later featured on Access Hollywood.
Known by her dance stage names “Strawberry” and “Purple Doll,” she was passionate about performance and often spoke of her dreams of becoming famous, largely driven by her dynamic dance skills and stage presence.
In 2024, Grimes gave birth to her son, Rogers McCloud III, but remained focused on her goals, returning to school with renewed purpose to complete her education and build a bright future for both herself and her child.
According to her family, Montgomery County authorities informed them that Ginnia was riding in a vehicle with a friend on Interstate 85 when a firearm discharged inside the car.
Investigators are currently treating the case as an active death investigation, and details remain limited at this time.
As the investigation continues, the Grimes family, along with the Alabama State University community, is mourning the tragic and untimely loss of a young woman described as talented, ambitious, and deeply loved.
Further updates will be provided as authorities release additional information.

Two Brothers and Their Sister Found Dead Inside Mount Holly Home After Postal Worker Discovers 911 Note
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — Law enforcement officials are investigating the deaths of three individuals after a postal worker made a disturbing discovery at a Mount Holly residence on Friday, November 6.
Emergency responders were dispatched to a home on Winding Way after a mail carrier noticed a heavily taped, handwritten message on the front door instructing anyone who saw it to call 911.
The note reportedly contained drawings of two unhappy faces with crosses over their eyes alongside the text “9-1-1 Inside.”
Upon entering the residence, responding Mount Holly Police officers discovered three deceased individuals inside the home.
Preliminary reports indicate that officers encountered a significant amount of blood within the property, though official investigators have not yet publicly detailed the exact scene conditions.
While law enforcement has not formally released the victims’ names pending official identification and next-of-kin notifications, neighbors identified the deceased as three siblings in their 60s who had resided in the neighborhood for many years: Roslyn (or Rosalind) Monk, Randy Monk, and William “Will” Monk.
Community members described the residents as quiet and friendly, expressing shock over the sudden tragedy in their neighborhood.
The Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office, in coordination with the Mount Holly Township Police Department, has launched a full investigation into the incident.
Autopsies are currently underway by medical examiners to determine the exact cause and manner of death for all three individuals.
Officials have not yet confirmed whether foul play or a homicide is suspected, and no information regarding potential suspects has been released.
Our deepest thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to the family, loved ones, and Mount Holly community affected by this devastating loss.
