Marquez Melvin, 19, of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was killed during a home invasion on September 22, 2021. The shooting occurred in the 1100 block of Charlie Drive near Murchison Road early in the morning when at least one man forced entry into the duplex and began shooting. Marquez was shot twice in the face and died. His cousin, 16-year-old Konye Melvin, was shot three times and also killed. A third victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and Marquez’s half-brother, 19-year-old Maurice Melvin Jr., was wounded and hospitalized, listed in critical condition and recovering.

The family believes the same person who killed Nicoda Melvin three days earlier may be connected; Nicoda was shot in the head and her boyfriend, Travis Edward Jefferson, has been charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. No arrests have been announced in the Charlie Drive shooting. The family is urging anyone with information to contact investigators as they continue to seek justice and hope Maurice will recover and assist the inquiry.
