LaVontae Khalil Brown was 15 and a freshman at Rocky Mount High School when he was found about 1 p.m. on November 6, 2015, on Pinehaven Drive in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, with a severe gunshot wound. He was taken to Nash General Hospital and died of his injuries.

Investigators arrested two men in connection with the shooting: Te’von Lamont Mabry, 18, and Michael Antoine Lyons Jr., 19. Both were charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder; Mabry was also charged with possession of a firearm by a felon. Both suspects were being held without bond in the Nash County jail while the Rocky Mount Police Department continued its investigation.

Grief counselors were made available at Rocky Mount High School for students and staff. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon on Pinehaven Drive, please contact the Rocky Mount Police Department.
