The murder of NBA star Chris Paul's grandfather is being brought back to the forefront, 20 years after his death.

On Monday, a three-judge panel in Forsyth County began listening to evidence surrounding the killing of Paul's grandfather, Nathaniel Jones. In November 2002, Jones, 61, was beaten to death, just a day after a then 17-year-old Paul signed on to play basketball for Wake Forest University.

Five teenagers were arrested in the case.

The North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence said four of the men should be exonerated in Jones' murder after an N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission found evidence of their innocence.

Two years after Jones' death, brothers Rayshawn Banner and Nathaniel Cauthen were convicted of murder and robbery. In 2005, three others were also held accountable for the death. All five were teens at the time of their arrest and have stood by their innocence. Since then, these five teens have been referred to as the “Winston-Salem 5."
