A family gathering in Farmville, North Carolina, on New Year’s Day ended in violence when 23-year-old Tazavian Jonta Webb was shot and killed. Deputies from the Pitt County Sheriff’s Office were called to a residence on NC-121 just outside town in the early morning hours of January 1, 2026; Webb was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were at the home: 42-year-old Boris Graham was wounded by gunfire, taken to ECU Health Medical Center and later released, and 19-year-old Jaboris Graham was uninjured.

Investigators say initial evidence points to a domestic dispute as the origin of the shooting, and alcohol may have been a contributing factor. All three men were related and lived at the residence where the shooting occurred. The Pitt County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation; no arrests or suspect information has been released.

If anyone knew Tazavian or was at the home that night, please share any information that might help the ongoing inquiry.
