On the evening of December 7, 2019, a dispute that began inside a South Boston vape shop moved outside and turned deadly on Old Halifax Road. Two brothers, 17-year-old Tevin Powell and his 20-year-old brother Davonte Powell, were shot during what was reported to have started as a fight intended to be hands only. Davonte was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound to the head; Tevin was airlifted to Duke University Hospital after being shot in the neck and died later that night.

Family and friends held a candlelight vigil in the days after the shooting. Investigators used witness statements and surveillance footage to identify a suspect; a teenager from Halifax County turned himself in to the South Boston Police Department and was charged, and another 18-year-old was arrested and charged as an accessory. What details from that night or the surrounding investigation might help clarify what happened on Old Halifax Road?
