Brianna Barbie Elizabeth Stevens, 26, was found dead on Christmas morning 2020 outside her apartment building on Bennett Drive Northwest in Roanoke, Virginia. Investigators determined she had been fatally shot in the back of the head. No witnesses reported seeing or hearing anything unusual around 8 a.m., when her body was discovered.

Police later identified 20-year-old Tashaun Dixon of Roanoke as a suspect. A grand jury indicted Dixon in April 2021 on charges of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Those charges were followed by a no contest plea on March 31, 2022, and a sentence of 30 years in prison. Charges connected to a separate Queen Avenue shooting that wounded two people were dropped.

What details about Brianna’s last known movements or who might have seen anything near Bennett Drive that morning could help clarify what happened?
