Homepage
RICHMOND, Va. — Opening statements have been delivered and witnesses have begun testifying in the trial of Xavier Brown, a man accused of killing two people in less than a week in Richmond.
The two sides laid out their versions of the case and their visions for what the jury will come away thinking.
Brown is accused in the murders of Cameron Cole and Ckristofer Tyler.
Prosecutors allege Brown and his girlfriend set Cole up under the pretext of having sex — only to rob and then kill him on April 28, 2023.
The first witness called has been Battle herself, who has so far only testified to Cole's murder.
