True Crime Obsessed

Seven Shots: The Recording That Prevented Impunity


Listen Later

A cell phone recording captured seven shots fired at an Atlanta rapper. His killer almost convinced the police it was self-defense. But the videos changed everything, and the sentence was 125 years without parole.

In this episode, you will discover how a mother requested life imprisonment for her own daughter, why the wounds on the victim's back shattered the crime alibi, and how Geraldine Grant turned four videos into the only barrier between impunity and justice. We analyze the pattern of violence that began with a knife, the shots documented in real-time, and the deliberate self-harm that Siera used to fabricate her defense.

Case Details
Victim: Rahim Grant, 28 years old, music producer and rapper from Atlanta
Date: December 29, 2017
Location: Apartment in Atlanta, Georgia, United States
Status: Siera Harp sentenced to 125 years without parole since May 2019

- Rahim was shot seven times in the back and head while on the ground, contradicting the defense that Siera acted in self-defense against an attacker
- The four videos on Rahim's cell phone show that Siera continued shooting while he begged for water and mentioned his daughter, with no signs of active threat
- Siera appears without visible injuries in the videos, but later presents cuts when she arrives at a neighbor's house, suggesting self-harm to build an alibi
- The knife that Rahim supposedly used was out of his reach on the ground, invalidating his ability to attack during the shooting

How can someone shoot another person while incapacitated on the ground and almost convince investigators it was self-defense?
