Two young men were found shot to death at an apartment complex in Hickory, North Carolina, on August 31, 2017. Janarion Kaverio Knox, 20, and 18-year-old Branique Stephan McKnight were discovered around 4 p.m. after a call about a shooting; both died of fatal gunshot wounds. Witnesses reported hearing seven gunshots and seeing a car leave the scene.

The investigation led to arrests. Nineteen-year-old Daniel Jeremiah Minton turned himself in the next day and was charged with two counts of murder. Twenty-year-old Maurice Craig Brown was arrested and charged with two counts of accessory after the fact to murder and held on a secured bond of $400,000. Both men were scheduled to appear in court on September 22, 2017.

Families of the victims expressed devastation and a desire for justice, and neighbors said the killings raised fear in the community. What information do readers have about the day of the shooting or about Knox’s and McKnight’s movements beforehand?
