In the early hours of December 28, 2013, 19-year-old Saeed Lateef Majied was found with a gunshot wound in the Gainsboro neighborhood of Roanoke, Virginia. Police located him around 3 a.m. in the 300 block of Patton Avenue Northwest; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Following the shooting, authorities arrested 30-year-old Bryson Andrew Brown of Roanoke and charged him initially with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Investigators continued the probe and a Roanoke grand jury later returned a murder indictment against Brown in connection with Majied’s death.

Saeed’s mother, Tamikco Pannell, later endured the additional tragedy of losing another son, Terrance Pannell, to gun violence in Roanoke. If anyone knew Saeed, his whereabouts that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
