Sacramento mother\u2019s car stolen twice in one week, suspect arrested<\/p>\n

Deborah Grimes, who founded a charity in memory of her late son, had his cherished car stolen twice in one week, with police confirming the same suspect was involved in both incidents.<\/p>\n

\"Anahita<\/a>SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\n

Deborah Grimes, the mother of a former Inderkum High School football coach who was killed in 2022, says she feels violated after her late son\u2019s car was stolen twice in one week. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was Najee\u2019s car, and it was the last thing before he was taken,\u201d said Grimes, CEO of the Greg Najee Grimes 212 Anchor Foundation, a charitable organization she created in her son\u2019s honor. <\/p>\n

Grimes said the 2019 GMC Acadia holds deep sentimental value. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a part of our lives, it\u2019s a tribute to him. It could be any other vehicle, but that particular vehicle, that one, is the one that means the most to us because it was his car,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Najee Grimes was killed in 2022 outside a club in downtown Sacramento. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis particular person came up with a gun that had a switch and he starts shooting. He shot five people multiple times. Najee was shot seven times, and he was the only fatality,\u201d Grimes said. <\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, police say the car was stolen for the first time. <\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it. I could barely even talk. All I could think of was pieces of Najee being taken away. What more could we bear?\u201d Grimes said. <\/p>\n

The car, which Grimes uses for her foundation\u2019s work, also contained a jewelry urn with some of her son\u2019s ashes. <\/p>\n

\u201cHis jewelry urn, which has a dreamcatcher, was hanging on the rearview mirror, and all I was thinking of was someone is driving around with my son\u2019s ashes,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Police recovered the car shortly after the first theft, but early this morning, it was stolen again\u2014this time right in front of Grimes\u2019 home. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I stayed up. This is why my eyes are red. It was like lightning striking twice,\u201d Grimes said. <\/p>\n

Police confirmed it was the same suspect in both incidents. Hours after the second theft, officers informed Grimes they had recovered the car again. <\/p>\n

Grimes said she plans to press charges and has contacted the district attorney\u2019s office. <\/p>\n

\u201cDo not let something like this happen, not just to me but to other families,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Sacramento police confirmed they arrested 28-year-old Parris Lee-McCall on charges related to the stolen car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sacramento mother\u2019s car stolen twice in one week, suspect arrested Deborah Grimes, who founded a charity in memory…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411747,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[164885,57862,283,10772,77376,164886,164880,164887,164883,164884,236,121,164881,123,84375,122,164888,2131,164882,315,430],"class_list":["post-411746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-anchor-foundation","tag-ashe","tag-car","tag-charge","tag-deborah-grimes","tag-greg-najee-grimes","tag-greg-najee-grimes-212-anchor-foundation","tag-jewelry-urn","tag-late-son","tag-najee","tag-police","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-car-theft","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-mother","tag-sacramento-news","tag-second-theft","tag-suspect","tag-suspect-steals-car-twice","tag-time","tag-week"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
