With deep sorrow and heavy hearts, family, friends, and the Statesville community are mourning the tragic and sudden loss of Trevor Miguel Roman, age 24, who lost his life after being shot during a violent home invasion on April 18, 2026.
According to the Statesville Police Department, officers were called at approximately 11:30 a.m. to the 200 block of E. Bell Street after reports of a possible home invasion and a person who had been shot. When officers arrived at the residence, they found Trevor suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Police immediately began rendering lifesaving aid at the scene until Iredell County EMS arrived and continued emergency medical treatment. Despite every effort made to save his life, Trevor was later pronounced deceased from his injuries. His sudden passing has left his loved ones in profound shock, struggling to understand how a moment of violence could take someone so young and full of life.
At just 24 years old, Trevor was at the beginning of adulthood, a time meant for building a future, creating memories, and growing into the life ahead of him. His loss is not only heartbreaking—it is devastating for those who knew and loved him, as they are now left with a future that no longer includes his presence.
Investigators with the Statesville Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division responded and launched an active investigation into the incident. Authorities have confirmed that the person responsible has been identified and stated there is no ongoing threat to the community, though the pain and impact of what happened remain deeply felt.
For Trevor’s family, the details of the investigation cannot lessen the weight of their grief. A life taken inside a place that should have represented safety has left behind sorrow, unanswered questions, and a silence that now fills every space he once occupied.
Those who knew Trevor remember more than the tragedy that ended his life. They remember his presence, his personality, and the moments that made him meaningful to those around him. His absence now leaves an emptiness that words cannot fully express.
As the investigation continues, his loved ones are left to grieve not only what happened but also everything that will never be.
Trevor Miguel Roman will be remembered with love, sorrow, and deep respect. Though his life was taken far too soon, his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him best.
May he rest in peace, and may his family and friends find strength, comfort, and healing in the difficult days ahead.
