"The Los Angeles Times" front page stated: 'Hollywood Film Cameraman
Found Slain in Automobile.' Gray had been shot in his car in front of
the Hollywood post office on Wilcox Avenue. It is not known who shot or
why they killed Gray. He was a hardworking man with a wife and two
sons. In his hand was a letter from Pennsylvania with the heading "Dear
Daddy," it is not known who wrote the letter and his family was at a
loss to explain what it meant. The body had been slumped over in the
car from eight to fifteen hours before anyone noticed anything out of
the ordinary. Suicide was ruled out as there was no weapon to be found
and robbery was also ruled out as a motive, as Gray's paycheck and some
loose change was found in his clothing.
