Few leads, no arrests made in man’s murder

WILMINGTON — Investigators say no arrests have been made in the Friday morning murder of 22-year-old Geoffrey Graham in New Hanover County.

But the investigation continues.

Early Friday morning Graham was shot dead in his home in the 2500 block of Bradfield Court.

Graham’s girlfriend found him bleeding on the living room floor and called 911.

Investigators say Graham died before they reached the scene. Neighbors say the community is normally a safe one.

Cal Ray is the victim’s neighbor. Ray said, “You never see anything like that around here. Nothing like it.”

Detectives say the murder may have been drug-related, but Graham’s sister says that’s not true. Kourteni Martin said, “They’ve made comments about traffic in and out of his house. This is his first house. Of course he’s going to have people over and friends over and parties. I mean it’s normal that’s what 22-year-olds do.”

Martin says her family is devastated.

New Hanover County Sheriff’s detectives say they have a few leads.
