According to preliminary reports, around 9:50 p.m., Young was driving with three passengers when the vehicle was fired upon as it stopped near Knowles Circle. Two passengers reportedly fled into nearby bushes to escape.
Young and a female passenger were both hit by gunfire before the vehicle crashed into a yard. Both were taken to the hospital where Young was pronounced dead, and the woman was admitted for treatment.
Young’s grandmother recounted her last moments with him: “It was just getting dark when he arrived. When I served him dinner I said, ‘eat something and fill your stomach,’ and we chatted for a while. Then he left saying he was going back to the bar.”
She added, “After he left, his brother came to the house and said, ‘Roshane’s dead.’ I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.'”
