Melvin Brent Adcock, 44, of Roxboro, North Carolina, was killed on July 16, 2016 at Shifters Sports Bar on Semora Road after an argument with another patron. The confrontation reportedly began when the two men brushed against each other and escalated into a heated exchange. During the altercation, 60-year-old Joseph Clyde James of Roxboro pulled out a gun and shot Adcock, who died at the scene.

The Person County Sheriff’s Office investigated the shooting. James was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. He was a convicted felon and therefore not permitted to possess firearms; a subsequent search of his home reportedly turned up additional firearms and led to pending drug charges. James was being held without bond in the Person County jail.
