James Calvin Graham Jr., age 52, was found dead on June 8, 2016, in a wooded area off Cisterna Road in Wilson County, North Carolina. His body was discovered unclothed and showed multiple gunshot wounds; the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office classified the death as a homicide.

Graham’s car was located burning near Buckhorn Landing; reports do not make clear whether the fire was accidental or set deliberately. The investigation has remained active, and in February 2021 the governor announced a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone who knew James, saw activity near Cisterna Road or Buckhorn Landing on or around June 8, 2016, or has information about the car fire is asked to contact investigators.
