Kennedy’s personal bodyguards on the night of June 5, 1968, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Grier was present in the kitchen pantry when RFK was shot and was among those who immediately subdued Sirhan Sirhan following the assassination. He later provided firsthand accounts of the event and remained closely associated with RFK’s legacy in the years that followed.
