Fatal Midlothian shooting death of Xavion Drake

Xavion Drake, a 17-year-old from Henrico County, died after being shot outside Creekpoint Apartments in Midlothian on Friday night. His companion, also 17, was killed in the same incident. Chesterfield Police responded to the 14600 block of Creekglen Way shortly before midnight. Neighbors reported hearing numerous gunshots and a mother’s desperate calls for help as the teens were killed. A concerned resident stated she heard her sister perform CPR on one victim, but it was too late. Police confirmed both victims were deceased upon arrival at the scene. Xavion’s mother, too emotionally distraught to speak on camera, confirmed her son was one of the slain teens. She explained he and his friend had visited another friend residing at the apartment complex, losing contact just minutes before the fatal shooting. This heartbreaking event marks the eighth homicide investigation in Chesterfield County this year. Residents express growing concern about safety, with one woman stating the incident confirmed her decision to stay in the community was wrong. Authorities do not believe there is an ongoing threat to residents and are not actively seeking suspects. They urge anyone with information to contact Crimesolvers. The emotional impact prompted some to consider relocating, fearing further violence.
