James Gray, (1958 - October 4, 2005), was the east Belfast leader of the Ulster Defence Association in Northern Ireland, an illegal loyalist paramilitary group.
He was often nicknamed "Doris Day" for his flamboyant dress sense and dyed blonde hair. He was also the part owner of several bars in east Belfast.
Gray was expelled from the organisation in March 2005, for unknown reasons. In April that year, he was arrested whilst driving; several thousand pounds were found in the car, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland believed he was intending to travel to the Republic of Ireland with what they suspected to be the proceeds of drug dealing and extortion. Gray was charged with money laundering, and held in custody until September when he was released on bail. During this time, police raids on a number of locations brought in thousands of documents related to this investigation. At the same time the prominent Belfast estate agent Philip Johnston was also arrested under suspicion of money laundering.
He was shot and killed on his doorstep shortly thereafter, by two unknown gunmen. The involvement of other loyalist factions was suspected, fuelling speculation that he was murdered through fears of him making an agreement with the police to expose his former associates in the UDA. He had previously been shot in the face in 2002, described by the police as "loosely related" to the death of a Loyalist Volunteer Force leader in a feud between loyalist groups.
