Gregory Player Mullinax

Police Officer Greg Mullinax was shot and killed when he responded to a domestic disturbance call involving a large number of subjects at 10:30 p.m.

When officers arrived at a residence on Paper Mill Road, a struggle ensued at the scene. Officer Mullinax was able to calm down the arguing couple and was talking to the wife near his patrol car when her son attacked him. As he was subduing the son, a neighbor approached. The neighbor fired at Officer Mullinax, who returned fire.

The subject was arrested nearby by a Georgia State Trooper. He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was reduced to life in prison on appeal, and he was later paroled.

Officer Mullinax had served with the Austell Police Department for four months and previously served with the Marietta Police Department. He was survived by his wife, daughter, mother, three brothers, and one sister.

It is honestly amazing to me that it has been 45 years now that you have been gone. Heather had just turned 4 when you were taken from us… She will be 50 this year! She’s the most incredible mother, and has three amazing sons! Kaeleb, the oldest, will b 30 this year. & married to the daughter of HEATHER’s best friend… the two youngest are twins, River and Sebastian, and they will be 20 in May. It breaks my heart that you were not able to see her grow, and see what an amazing woman she has become. She and I honor you every year at the police officers memorial in the Marietta Square… I did the memorial Harley ride every year while it was still going on… I post pictures of you each year on the anniversary of your death… It coincides with your birthday and my birthday which is an incredible tragedy…just to let the world know that you are so loved and will honestly never ever be forgotten. Your whole family is up there now & it must be a crazy a$$ celebration.. just know that you will always be loved and remembered❤️
