On the evening of May 31, 2017, 23-year-old Fenqwon Tayshon Payne was found unresponsive inside a residence in the 700 block of Bradley Road in Danville, Virginia. Police and emergency services discovered Payne with apparent gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives pursued the case for years. In August 2020 a Danville grand jury returned indictments charging 28-year-old Quadarius D. Wilson, a former Danville resident who had moved to the Roanoke area, with first-degree murder and related firearms offenses. The U.S. Marshals Service arrested Wilson at his workplace in Roanoke County on August 28, 2020, and he was transported to the city jail. Authorities said Payne and Wilson were acquaintances; motive and the specific circumstances of the shooting were to be developed in court.

If anyone knew Fenqwon Payne, his movements that evening, or has information about the case, please share what is known.
