Xavier Stevenson was 19 when he and his girlfriend, Myla Payne, both 19, were killed on June 29, 2019, on a secluded dirt road called Lee Buck Road in Winnabow, North Carolina. The two had driven there to sell marijuana to former classmates Logan Neal Young, 19, and Joshua Larmonte Carter, 20. According to the prosecution, a dispute over the terms of the sale led to Stevenson exiting the car to urinate; Young then shot Stevenson in the back of the head and also shot Payne in the back of the head.

Their bodies were found by another couple who called 911. Young and Carter were arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon. Young confessed, saying he got mad and shot both of them. Prosecutors said the two had planned to rob the victims, taking five ounces of marijuana and about $500 in cash.

Young was convicted of all charges and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Carter pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to first-degree murder and attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and received 73 to 100 months in prison.

Did anyone who knew Xavier or Myla recognize the names of the people involved or remember the circumstances around that June 29 meeting?
