On January 14th, the stepfather of Aveion Lewis, Brandon Lockett, called 911 saying someone beat him up and kidnapped Aveion. Police now say he was lying.
"All indications are Aveion was deceased prior to the 911 call made on the 14th," says Roanoke Police Chief Joe Gaskins.
Aveion's body still hasn't been found. Tuesday night the Lockett home was an active crime scene and Chris Ward, Aveion's Uncle, was still in shock even though he didn't believe Lockett's story from the beginning. "We had already put this together when it hit, but I'm not prepared for it."
Police are calling this a death investigation at this time, not a murder. Lockett is being questioned but has not been officially charged. For some family members, there still isn't a sense of closure. "They still haven't found his body," said Ward.
