James Jordan’s murder: Looking back on the killing of Michael Jordan’s father

This story was originally published August 15, 1993 after James Jordan’s body was found, but before the killer was found.

Who killed James Jordan?

The mystery remained on Saturday. But the trail warmed a bit as North Carolina authorities arrested four men and were searching for others in the theft and vandalism of Jordan’s red $ 45,000 Lexus SC400.

Funeral services for the murdered father of the world’s most famous basketball player are scheduled for today in Wallace, N.C.

“The Jordans have always been a very tight-knit family,” said Michael Jordan in a statement.
