Konye Melvin was 16 when he was shot and killed during a home invasion at a residence on Charlie Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on September 22, 2021. Konye was struck three times; his cousin, 19-year-old Marquez Melvin, was also killed and a third relative, Maurice Melvin Jr., was wounded but survived. The family says the nature of the injuries suggests the attack was personal and suspects a connection to the earlier killing of their cousin, 21-year-old Nicoda Melvin, who was shot on September 18, 2021.

Investigations are being handled separately: the Fayetteville Police Department is investigating Nicoda’s death while the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office is leading the probe into the Charlie Drive shooting. No arrests have been announced in the Charlie Drive case. The family believes people with information have not come forward and Maurice Melvin Jr. remains afraid to speak, fearing retaliation.

Did anyone in the community hear or see anything around Charlie Drive on the night of September 22 that could help the investigation?
