Shadae Nicole Roscoe, a 26-year-old African American woman, tragically passed away on May 3, 2022, in Gatesville, North Carolina. Her death was the result of a domestic-related incident involving her partner, Wilson Te’Quon Williams. Shadae was found unresponsive at her residence on Route 37 after a welfare check was conducted by her friend and mother. She had suffered from an apparent gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The investigation revealed that Shadae Roscoe had been involved in a tumultuous relationship with Wilson Williams, who had fled the scene prior to the arrival of the deputies. The Gates County Sheriff's Office issued a "be on the lookout" for Williams, who later turned himself in to authorities and was charged with first-degree murder. Shadae's mother, Nickie, expressed her deep sorrow over the loss of her only child, describing her as a loving and caring person who always smiled.
Shadae's untimely death came just months before she was supposed to be in her cousin's wedding. Her aunt, Wendy Lassiter, mentioned that Shadae had already purchased her dress for the wedding, which was on its way. Wendy also revealed that Shadae had covered up the abuse she suffered from Williams, as she loved him and did not want others to know about the situation.
The case has garnered significant attention, with the community mourning the loss of Shadae Nicole Roscoe and seeking justice for her tragic death. The legal proceedings against Wilson Williams are ongoing, and he remains in custody without bond.
