Hey Noir Nation. Let me ask you something—what happens when good looks, smooth talk, and a taste for the finer things in life mix with a whole lot of broke and a petty thief? Well, today’s mayhem maker was just that—a pretty boy who knew how to work a room, but when the charm ran out, the crime kicked in. He went from finessing his way through life to making folks disappear—literally.

This man had Missouri shook, and let me tell you, when they say pretty hurts, they ain't never lied. Because today, I'm bringing you the story of Richard Grissom Jr, who I like to call Pretty Ricky—a sticky finger nigga turned stone-cold killer. Buckle up, ‘cause this one is wild.
