Xavier N. Carson, 19, was shot and killed on the evening of Tuesday, November 26, 2019, at an apartment complex at 623 Edmunds Street in Danville, Virginia. Police responded to a report of a man shot in the chest around 5:45 p.m.; Carson was taken to Sovah Health but later died of his wounds.

Within a day, Danville police identified 18-year-old Traquon L. Allen of Danville as a suspect. Allen was arrested in North Carolina and charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was awaiting extradition back to Virginia to face those charges.

What details about that evening or about Xavier’s movements beforehand might help clarify what happened?
