Gregory Green: Child and Baby Killer

On July 14, 1991, Gregory Green called 911 saying to first responders that he murdered his wife and that he was waiting outside. When police reached, they found his wife, Tonya Green dead from numerous stab wounds to her face and chest. To their dismay, Tonya was six months pregnant with Gregory Green’s child and their unborn child also died in the frenzied attack. Green served sixteen years in prison for the killing of his wife and was paroled with the support of his friends and family. A local pastor, Fred Harris lobbied for Green’s salvation and pending release. In interviews, he claimed that Green had a lack of self-control and in the years that he served, he became a decent man. Harris, along with the members of his church, all welcomed him back with open arms and total support when he was released in 2008.

 Green later married Pastor Harris’ daughter, Faith Green-Harris and they had two children, Koi and Kaleigh. Nearly a decade after his release from prison and creating a gorgeous family who loved and believed him, Green snapped. On September 21, 2016, Faith Harris-Green was bound with duct tape and zip ties, shot in the foot, cut with a box cutter across her face, and forced to watch her husband heartlessly murder her two teenage children and his stepchildren with a gun. At the time of their killings, Kara Allen was seventeen and Chadney Allen was nineteen. Upstairs, Green locked Koi, then five, and Kaleigh, then four inside of their room and ran a hose from the family car’s tailpipe into their bedroom; both girls died while they were sleeping from carbon monoxide poisoning. After the attack, he calmly walked outside and called 911 telling them that he shot his family and they were inside. 

 

Gregory Green was found mentally competent to stand trial and found guilty of the killings. His wife, Faith Harris-Green took the stand and gave the following victim statement as she faced him on stand: 

“You are a con artist. You are a monster. You are a monster in disguise. You are now forever exposed; no penalty will ever be enough. Not even torture and death would be justice; your justice will come when you burn in hell for all eternity for killing four innocent children, all because you’re insecure.” Green will not be capable of parole until he is 97 years old.
