Malik Lamont Otameise Martin was killed on August 25, 2022, near Graham Village Apartments at 901 East Hanover Road on the edge of Graham, North Carolina. He had just turned 16 on August 24. The double homicide also claimed the life of Melvin Wiley.

Two teenagers were charged in the killings. A 17-year-old, Tyshon Wiley, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder after a probable cause hearing and was held on a $2 million bond with conditions that include electronic monitoring and home confinement; reports say he confessed to involvement. The second accused is a 14-year-old, Kymoni Melendez Poteat, who faces the same charges and whose status regarding juvenile or adult court was pending.

Malik’s family and extended relatives survived him, including his mother Priscilla Brown and father Charles Pulliam Jr., siblings, grandparents, and others. Malik enjoyed video games, basketball, funny Instagram videos, and time with family. Does anyone have information about that night or Malik’s movements around the Graham Village Apartments?
