Travis Lee Foreman, a 30-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed in his apartment on Ridge Place in Greenville, North Carolina, on November 24, 2014. Investigators described the killing as linked to a gang-related dispute. Family and community members mourned his death.

Over time the investigation produced arrests. In January 2017 three people were charged with first-degree murder and felony conspiracy: 23-year-old Antero Michael Puopolo Rodrigues, 22-year-old Jerrell Devon Powell, and 23-year-old Kenquonis Niqua Mckenzie. An anonymous tip was credited with providing critical information that helped detectives. In October 2018 two additional suspects were charged: 32-year-old Javez Dean Simpson and 24-year-old Keonte Brown; Simpson was already in custody in Columbus County and Brown was arrested in Greenville. The Greenville Police Department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team and Major Crimes Unit worked with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation on the case.

The investigation remains active and open, with the possibility of further arrests. If anyone has information that could help bring more clarity or assist the family, please share what is known.
