Seventeen-year-old Xavion Drake was fatally shot on June 20, 2025, at the Creek Point apartment complex in Midlothian, Virginia. He and his close friend, 17-year-old Elijah Brown, were both killed in the same incident. Xavion, born November 3, 2007, lived in Henrico and was remembered by family and his church community at Speaking Spirit Ministries for his infectious smile, love of music and dancing, and for bringing people together. He wrote music and rapped; his songs are now a keepsake for loved ones.

The community held a prayer vigil where friends and family wore orange and white and shared memories. Xavion’s mother publicly pleaded for an end to gun violence. An arrest has been made: 18-year-old Richard Lamb of Chesterfield was taken into custody and charged with two counts of murder; the investigation into the circumstances of the shooting is ongoing.

Did anyone in the Midlothian or Henrico area know Xavion or have information about that night?
