Murder Kroger

Common card · No. 388067

Murder Kroger is the nickname of a Kroger supermarket in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It has been the scene of two fatal shootings, a fatal stabbing, and the discovery of a corpse. It is located at 725 Ponce de Leon Avenue in Poncey–Highland and has been known as "Murder Kroger" for decades. In 1991, a 25-year-old woman named Cynthia Prioleau was shot and killed. In 2002, the malodorous corpse of a man was found inside a car. In 2015, an Alabama man, Joshua R. Richey, was shot and killed. The 2015 murder occurred after the store had been renovated and promoted by the company as "Beltline Kroger". Even though the original store was demolished in 2016 and an entirely new store within a larger mixed-use development called 725 Ponce opened in 2019, "Murder Kroger" continued to be described as a nickname "that just won't die".
