Hi my name is Alex (Graham) Radder and Austin was my younger brother. Thank you all for your thoughts, concerns, and your following of this case. We still hope to find justice for Austin.

Austin Clint Graham was 26 and a carpenter from Leesburg, Florida. Born April 20, 1996, he was described as an outdoorsman and artist, a father to two children, Faith and Trenten, and engaged to his girlfriend Lauren Graham.

On the afternoon of June 22, 2022, Austin was shot in the head near the intersection of Whitney Road and State Road 44 in rural Leesburg. The man identified as the shooter was 57-year-old James Carlton of Fruitland Park, who confronted Austin and, after a brief conversation, shot him. Carlton left the scene and was later located and arrested; he was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond at the Lake County Jail.

Austin’s family and community have been deeply affected by his death. If anyone has information about the events near Whitney Road and State Road 44 on June 22, 2022, or knew Austin and can help clarify what happened, please share what is known.
