Giovanni Griffin, a 23-year-old Black man, was shot and killed inside an apartment in the 6000 block of Willowbrook Drive in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on May 15, 2018, around 1:30 a.m. A 25-year-old woman, Deanna Robinson, was also found with gunshot wounds and taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in fair condition; Griffin later died at the hospital.

Investigators characterized the shooting as targeted rather than random. On June 5, 2018, Fayetteville police announced the arrest of 25-year-old Donavin Levon Boomer in Huntington Station, New York. Boomer was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and first-degree burglary. Authorities say Griffin and Robinson knew Boomer.

Detectives from the Homicide Unit continue to seek information. Did anyone in Fayetteville know Giovanni, Deanna, or their connection to Donavin Boomer and have information to share?
