In the early hours of December 28, 2013, in Roanoke, Virginia, 19-year-old Saeed Majied was found with a gunshot wound in the Gainsboro neighborhood. Police responded to a call in the 300 block of Patton Avenue Northwest at approximately 3 a.m. where they discovered the young man. Saeed Lateef Majied was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following the shooting, authorities arrested 30-year-old Bryson Andrew Brown of Roanoke.
Initially, he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The investigation into Saeed's death continued, and subsequently, a Roanoke grand jury returned a murder indictment against Brown in connection with the fatal shooting.
The tragic death of Saeed Majied was not the only loss his family would endure. Several years later, his mother, Tamikco Pannell, would face the heartbreak of losing another son, Terrance Pannell, to gun violence in Roanoke. The outcome of the legal proceedings against Bryson Andrew Brown in the death of Saeed Majied is not detailed in the available online information.
