James Roger Thompson was 16 and a junior at Knightdale High School when he was killed on October 13, 2022. He enjoyed deep sea fishing, basketball, gaming on his PS4, amusement parks, sporting events, and time at the beach and mountains. He is survived by his parents, Alan C. Thompson and Elise Enders Thompson, and his brother Austin.

The death occurred during a mass shooting in Raleigh that day in which five people were killed and others wounded. The suspect faces multiple charges, including five counts of murder and other counts; the suspect’s father, Alan Thompson, has been charged with a misdemeanor for storing a firearm accessible to a minor.

Does anyone have information about James, his routines, or the neighborhood that could help clarify what happened that day?
