CHARLOTTE, NC — Former NC State Senator Malcolm Graham has confirmed the death of his sister, Ms. Cynthia Marie Graham-Hurd.
Cynthia Graham-Hurd was one of the nine victims in the shooting at Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston, SC.
Malcolm Graham released the following statement on the death of his sister:
“My sister, Ms. Cynthia Marie Graham-Hurd, was a victim of the senseless hate crime at Emanuel AME Church. It is unimaginable that she would walk into church and not return. But that’s who she was – a woman of faith. This is a very difficult time for our family, and Cynthia will be sorely missed. Our family is close-knit, and our faith will see us through. I also extend condolences to the other families of Emanuel AME Church and the city of Charleston who have been affected by this inconceivable tragedy.
My family and I appreciate the thoughts and prayers from people across North Carolina and South Carolina.”
