Javaris Trevonte’ Roberts, 31, was fatally shot on July 6, 2016, in the 600 block of Grandin Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was the son of Louis Oliver and Nancine Roberts Bowman, a military veteran who served in Iraq, and was described by his mother as responsible, loving, supportive, and a caregiver to a special needs sibling.

Javaris’s family and community mourned the loss of a young man remembered as the life of the party and a devoted son and friend.
