Fatal Incident Summary
Offender: No Info
Location: NC   USA   Sun. Oct. 18, 1970
Summary: Officer McGraw was shot and killed as he and other officers raided a gambling house on East Fourth Street at 0145 hours. He was shot in the chest and back as he led his officers into the home. Over $42,000 in cash, a shotgun and eight handguns were confiscated in the home and 17 suspects were arrested.

Only one suspect was charged with Officer McGraw's murder. He was convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to 27 years in prison on May 9, 1971. On August 30, 1972 he was granted a new trial because a judge ruled that the raid was conducted with an invalid search warrant. The suspect was acquitted at his new trial on January 9, 1973.

Officer McGraw had been with the agency for three years and was survived by his wife and daughter
