Many say the pain a parent experiences when losing a child is like no other. Melissa Roberson says that pain is amplified because she still hasn’t been able to get any answers as to who killed her son, up-and-coming Houston rapper, Xavier Roberson, better known to fans as Obie Noir back in 2021.
“I think about him every day,” Roberson said, adding that she’s been dealing with sleepless nights since March 8, 2021.Soon, her worst fear came true.Roberson’s pain grew deeper when she learned what investigators say happened to her son.
“They chased him around these corners, and it was cars. They blocked him off and they gunned him down,” Roberson said. Not only was the son, brother and father considered a talented basketball player and up-and-coming rapper, but he was also known by many to be a positive force in the community, mentoring youth and being an activist against gun violence.Almost two years later, his mother says she’s wrestling with unanswered questions.While there have been no arrests in the case, Houston police say the case is still open and active. They’re asking for anyone with information to come forward.
