Gary Dionne Lowe, a 39-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on August 22, 2021, in Salisbury, North Carolina. Gary was born on June 14, 1982, to Rochell Lowe and Connie Hamilton. He attended East Rowan High School and later completed his GED. Gary is survived by his parents, his sons Xavier, Norris, and Nathan, his daughters Tega and Destiny, his brothers Daniel, Michael, Rochell Lucas, and Darius, as well as two grandchildren, nephews, nieces, and a host of other relatives
and friends.
The incident leading to Gary's death occurred on Carpenters Circle in Salisbury. On the early morning of August 22, 2021, Gary was found suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to Novant Health Rowan Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The Salisbury Police Department launched an investigation into the shooting and identified Samuel Lee White, a 40-year-old male, as the primary suspect. Warrants were obtained for White's arrest shortly after the incident, but he managed to evade capture for several months.
In July 2022, Samuel White was finally apprehended by the Salisbury Police Department. He was arrested on an outstanding murder warrant and was held at a local jail facility in Danville, Virginia, awaiting extradition back to Rowan County. The investigation revealed that White was the individual responsible for shooting and killing Gary Dionne Lowe. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but the arrest of White marked a significant development in the case.
The legal proceedings against Samuel White are ongoing, with the Salisbury Police Department continuing to gather evidence and build a case against him. The community of Salisbury remains deeply affected by the loss of Gary Dionne Lowe, and his family and friends continue to mourn his untimely death. The case has drawn attention to the issue of gun violence in the area and has sparked conversations about the need for increased efforts to address and prevent such tragedies in the future.
