Roanoke police to hold 5 p.m. news conference about missing toddler Aveion Lewis

The Roanoke Times

Roanoke police have scheduled a 5 p.m. press conference today about their investigation into the death of Aveion Lewis.

Authorities spent Tuesday, which would have been the toddler's third birthday, searching for any sign of Lewis at a Roanoke County landfill.

Brandon Lockett, Aveion's stepfather, and Morgan Lockett, his mother, reported to police Jan. 14 that Aveion was abducted. Police said Brandon Lockett later told them that the toddler had died.

Brandon Lockett was charged with felony child neglect, improper disposal of a human body and obstruction of justice. Police haven't said how Aveion might have died, but a search warrant said they are investigating the toddler's death as a homicide.

Poor Sweet Baby. RIP lil Angel


Why did they ever get that baby back? The articles say they were having financial problems and three other children in the home. Why did they give him back? I pray the other children have been taken out of that home,

God rest your sweet little soul......

May there be justice for this sweet angel and why is his mother not charged yet?

  RIP Aveion 

I hope the other children have been removed from the home.  And I too am wondering about Aveion's mother.

Rest in Peace, Aveion.

UPDATED: A toddler's body found; Family of Aveion Lewis speaks out


UPDATED WEDNESDAY 11:30 PM

News7 sits down with the family of Aveion Lewis

News7 talked to Aveion Lewis' family Wednesday after police announced that the body of a small child found in a Roanoke County landfill may be that of the toddler.

Holding back tears, Chris Ward reacts to the news his nephew's body may have found.

"He was a fighter, he had a big heart," says Aveion's uncle Chris Ward.

As they wait for official word from the medical examiner's office, Aveion's family is trying to come to terms with the fact his remains may have been found in of all places a landfill.

"He didn't deserve, no kid deserve that. I couldn't even fathom another human being doing that to a child," says Ward.

The boy's step father Brandon Lockett so far has been charged with improper disposal of a body, felony child neglect, and obstruction of justice.

Initially he told police and News 7 the two year old was kidnapped from his home by three intruders nearly two weeks ago.

Police say Lockett admitted last week the boy was dead.

Online court records indicate a murder case will be presented to a grand jury on Monday and the grand jury could charge Lockett with murder.

"Personally, I hope they let him go. I hope they let him walk the streets... that's what I want. I just rather see him out here and get street justice than jail justice," says Ward.

Police declined to say whether Aveion's mother will eventually face charges.

Morgan's brother told News 7 that's the farthest thing from the family's mind right now.

Instead, they're concentrating on making funeral plans. It looks like it will be held Sunday at 5 p.m. at St. Matthew's Word of Life Church.

My heart goes out to all those that truly loved this little defenseless child!

Heart, I have a picture of my little guy (now almost 8 ) at the same age in the exact same pose as Aveion.  Thank you for posting that.  Never in one million years will I understand people. 

Sing with the angels Aveion, you are in a much better place.

Warrant says child's body wrapped, taped
Police seized duct tape and other items Friday from the home of Aveion Lewis' stepfather.

When the body thought to be that of 2-year-old Aveion Lewis was found in a regional landfill, he was wrapped in packaging and tape, a search warrant filed in Roanoke Circuit Court on Friday said.

Remains that are believed to be Aveion's were found Wednesday in the Smith Gap Regional Landfill in Roanoke County. Authorities had begun searching there after determining that garbage containers from around Aveion's home in the 2100 block of King Charles Avenue Southeast were emptied Jan. 14 and their contents taken to the city's trash transfer station, then moved by rail to Smith Gap.

In a search warrant filed Friday, police said searchers found a child's body "inside of packaging that was bound with an adhesive binding."

The warrant said police planned to search the home Aveion shared with Lockett and Aveion's mother, Morgan Lockett. Morgan Lockett has not been charged in the case.

Specifically, police were seeking "all packaging items. All identification items, receipts, bar codes, and applications for membership. Any adhesive tape. All documents pertaining to Aveion Lewis."

The search warrant return, filed later Friday afternoon, said police collected 17 pieces of duct tape, plastic grocery store shopping bags and a mop. Officers took swabs from a training toilet, toddler bed and stains under the toddler bed and on a bedroom closet door. And officers seized a variety of paperwork, including immunization records on Aveion's siblings, and a prescription bottle for Aveion's medication that had been filled in 2008.

Though identification of the body found at the landfill has not been confirmed, Aveion's relatives scheduled a memorial service for Sunday at St. Matthew Word of Life Fellowship Church in Northwest Roanoke. The service is planned for 5 p.m. at 1422 Abbott St. N.W.

Police investigate possibility of another suspect in Lewis death

http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=11921614
A twist in the Aveione Lewis murder investigation.

Police are looking at a possible second suspect in the toddler's death.

That's according to a search warrant filed in circuit court.

Investigators want to get into Brandon Lockett's e-mail account.

Lockett was Aveion Lewis' stepfather and has been charged in connection with this case.

Brandon Lockett talked to News7 the day after he claimed three men kidnapped Aveion.

In this search warrant, police say Lockett used his computer and email account before, on and after January 14th when the two-year-old was reported missing.

Investigators want access to his YAHOO account because Lockett refers to this mystery person and cell phone number getting Aveion's dead body for disposal.

Last Wednesday, searchers found the body of a child in a Roanoke County landfill.

The child's body still has not been officially identified.

A search warrant from last week shows the baby's body was found wrapped in plastic and tape.

In previous searches police seized computers, cell phones, plastic bags and duct tape.

While police aren't identifying the baby at this point, according to the search warrant the body found was that of an African-American baby.

Police announced this week that they were investigating an e-mail account linked to Locket to confirm whether anyone else may have been involved in the toddler's death.

I hope everyone and anyone involved in any way  's for the murder of this precious baby boy 

[MuffyBee]

Rest in peace, Aveion.   

I hope with the recovery of little Aveion's body, there will be evidence of how he died and I hope there will be justice for Aveion.  This not only includes the person or person's that directly harmed Aveion, but those that turned a blind eye to helping this child during his time of need.  I believe those that put Aveion back in this home after he had been in foster care need a serious looking into.  Did Aveion's mother have any idea of what went on?  How about the rest of the relatives?  I find it difficult to believe the step-father did the cover up all by himself.  JMHO
