Nasion Akia Daray Brewer, 25, was shot in a Roanoke home just after midnight on January 11, 2020, and died after being taken to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital. He was found inside a residence in the 1800 block of Gandy Drive NW with multiple gunshot wounds. Brewer’s family remembered him as a hardworking Americold employee and a devoted friend and family man; he was born November 20, 1994, to Kristie F. Brewer and the late Jacob Terry Jr.

Police said a confrontation between Brewer and another individual escalated and resulted in the shooting. Two days later, on January 13, 2020, Roanoke Police arrested 19-year-old Camron Williams at a residence in the 900 block of 5th Street NW and charged him with second-degree murder. The investigation into what led to the confrontation and shooting remained ongoing.

If anyone witnessed the events on Gandy Drive or has information about the confrontation that preceded the shooting, please come forward.
