@xo_bellevie: Most people know the name MICHAEL JORDAN. But how many know what happened to his father right here in North Carolina? 📍 Lumberton, North Carolina - near the intersection of I-95 and US Highway 74. On July 23, 1993, James Jordan Sr., the father of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was driving home to Charlotte after attending a funeral in Wilmington, NC. It was the middle of the night. Tired from the drive, the 56-year-old pulled his red Lexus over near the highway to get some rest. Two young men approached his vehicle during a robbery. James Jordan was shot and killed. His car was stolen, and his body was taken across the state line into South Carolina, where it was dumped in Gum Swamp. His remains weren’t discovered until 11 days later. The murder devastated the Jordan family and shocked the world. Larry Demery pleaded guilty, and Daniel Green was convicted of the murder. Both received life sentences. Today, people drive through this interchange every day without knowing the heartbreaking history connected to this stretch of road. You never know the history behind the places you pass every day.
