Quantae Dixon, a 23-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on January 14, 2019, in Kinston, North Carolina. According to reports, Quantae was shot and killed during an attempted robbery while he was sitting in his car on Doctors Drive in Kinston. The incident left his family and community in shock and mourning.
Quantae's mother, Kecia Conner, described her son as a comical and loving individual who kept everyone around him laughing.
On the day of the incident, Kecia recalled the moment Quantae's brother informed her that he saw Quantae running. She rushed to the front door of her apartment, where she saw her son. Quantae looked at her, told her he was shot, and that he loved her. Kecia then put him in the car and took him to the hospital. Despite her efforts, Quantae was flown to ECU Medical Center, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Six years after the incident, no arrests have been made in connection with Quantae's murder. The Kinston Police Department marked the anniversary of his death with a Facebook post calling for justice. Kecia Conner remains adamant about her son's character, stating that he did not get into trouble, had not been arrested, and was not involved in any gangs. She believes that someone in the community knows what happened to her son but is too afraid to come forward. The lack of answers and years without closure have been infuriating for Kecia, who continues to seek justice for Quantae.
The Kinston Police Department has urged anyone with information about the incident to come forward and help solve the case. The community's support and cooperation are crucial in bringing justice to Quantae Dixon and his family.
