Xzavion Rashawn Watts, 20, was shot and killed on May 10, 2020, in Hickory, North Carolina. Known as Zay, he was a former PTI Hickory Springs employee and a member of New Hope Baptist Church. He is survived by his parents, Evangelist Tammy Sharpe-Watts and Anthony Pernail Watts, his siblings and his children.

On May 10 Xzavion and his 16-year-old cousin, Damarion Isaiah Sharpe, were sitting in the backseat of a parked car in the Save More Convenience Store parking lot on First Avenue SW after a family cookout. A Black male wearing a gray hooded coat and black pants approached the vehicle and fired multiple rounds from a handgun into the backseat. Damarion was pronounced dead at the scene; Xzavion was taken to Frye Regional Medical Center and later died of his injuries. The shooter fled and no arrests have been announced. The families have offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and prosecution.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing a person matching the suspect description near First Avenue SW?
