Graham police search for clues after two teen boys found shot dead in the woods
Graham police said Thursday they are continuing to search for whoever killed two teenage boys and injured another on East Hanover Road one week ago.
Around 1 a.m. Aug. 25, police were called to the 900 block of East Hanover Road for reports of gunfire and a gunshot victim in the parking lot of the Graham Village Apartments..
They found an 18-year-old who had been shot. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
“Initial information provided did not indicate that there were any other victims,” said Capt. Tony Velez, Graham police spokesperson.
However, around 9:45 a.m Graham police were contacted by the Burlington Police Department about a potential missing persons investigation and returned to the scene.
Around 11 a.m., detectives found the bodies of two 16-year-old boys in the woods behind the apartment complex, according to Graham police.
The boys’ names have not been released.
“Due to the ages of the juvenile victims, witnesses and potential suspect(s), the Graham Police Department is limited in communicating all of the specific details involving the investigation,” Velez said in a statement Thursday.
Police said they have not identified any suspects.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Graham Police Department at 336-570-7611 or leave an anonymous tip at 336-229-7100.
