Xyqwavius ’Qway’ Brown, 19, was shot and killed in the early hours of October 26, 2019, near a breezeway at the Meadow Woods Apartments on Fairchild Drive in the Hybla Valley area of Alexandria, Virginia. He had been at his grandmother’s apartment and walked outside after receiving a phone call; multiple gunshots were heard around 12:30 a.m. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds and he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators say the killing was connected to a dispute the day before, when Brown and two others allegedly robbed Melvin Palma-Flores of marijuana. Palma-Flores reportedly produced a semi-automatic handgun during that incident but did not fire it. Afterward Brown allegedly taunted Palma-Flores on Snapchat and sent a mocking video less than an hour before the shooting. Cell phone records and witness statements placed Palma-Flores near the apartment complex with his girlfriend and another man just before the murder, and detectives say Palma-Flores lured Brown outside and shot him multiple times before fleeing.

Does anyone who knew Xyqwavius, or who was in the Meadow Woods Apartments that night, have information that could shed more light on what happened?
