On December 20th, 2023 I was dispatched to [3900 BLOCK] West Why 166 in Carrollton in reference to shots being fired and the complainant finding bullet holes in his residence and vehicle.
Upon arrival I made with [VICTIM ]. [VICTIM ] stated that this past weekend he left on Friday morning to go to Tennessee to spend time with family. [VICTIM ] told me he stayed in Tennessee until Sunday and then came back due to him having to work the following week. Until today before he called 911 [VICTIM ] had been getting late in the evening and due to it being dark he had not noticed anything unusual.
While walking around outside his residence today due to being earlier than usual, [VICTIM ] noticed where a bullet had hit the hood of his jeep and bounced off and hit the windshield. After this, [VICTIM ] began walking around his property more and noticed a hole in the front of his residence near the front screen door and then on the building out behind his house as well. While looking at the holes in the wall of the house, it was clear that the bullet had not made entry into the residence from the front. Dry wall was misplaced inside but no exit hole. As far as the building, the bullet passed through but did not make an indention in the back wall. After gathering information from [VICTIM ] and obtaining my photos, I ed Sgt. Hutcheson and advised him of the situation. He stated that CID was informed and en route to my location.
Once Investigator Harmon and Cole arrived on scene, I explained all the information that was given to me to them and showed them where the damage was caused on the vehicle and buildings. While obtaining their photos I noticed the bullet that had went through the building down on the far right side of the concrete floor. This as well as the bullet that was located on the Jeep hood was collected into an evidence bag and would be sealed at a later time.
While speaking with [VICTIM ], he advised us that his current girlfriend’s ex boyfriend Jeffrey Ryan Graham is suspected to be the offender. [VICTIM ] states that Jeffrey had been sending him text messages that were not harmful but strange because they were all about Jeffrey and the girl when they used to date, including explicit photos from their past relationship.
All information and photos were collected and evidence will be turned in as well to evidence locker 5
