A shooting at a La Grange, North Carolina gas station leads to an aggressor being killed and the arrest of the potential victim.
Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office detectives concluded that the shooting death of Terrence Outlaw Jr. was a justified self defense shoot, however, shooter Julius Graham of La Grange was arrested for being in violation of North Carolina’s law against gun possession by a convicted felon.
“We obtained camera footage from numerous different angles inside the store,” Lenoir County Sheriff Ronnie Ingram said in an interview.
“These recordings helped us identify Graham, but also provided evidence that the deceased pulled a firearm first. Detectives, an assistant district attorney, and I reviewed the camera footage and evidence from the scene.”
Graham turned himself in to Lenoir County law enforcement the following afternoon and was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and obstruction of justice, but will not face any charges in relation to the shooting. Graham is being held on a $40,000 bond at the Lenoir County Detention Center.
“It has been determined that Graham was not the aggressor and that he acted in self-defense,” Sheriff Ingram said.
