Quentin Kenon, a 28-year-old African American male, passed away on March 15, 2016, in Goldsboro, North Carolina. His death was reported in various obituaries, which noted that he was born on December 9, 1987, in Wayne County to Wantonia Bowden and Priscilla K. McClain. Quentin was survived by two children. His funeral services were held at the James T.
Haskins Memorial Chapel of Haskins Funeral Home, with burial in Old Mill Cemetery.
Quentin Kenon was previously involved in a significant legal case. In 2008, he, along with two other suspects, Rashard Vondarius Oliver and Joshua Earl Devon Davis, was charged with armed robbery and attempted murder following an incident at the Brookside Mart on South Slocumb Street in Goldsboro. The store owner, Ribhi Mohammed "Frank" Kandeel, was shot and paralyzed during the robbery. Kandeel later died in 2010 due to complications from the gunshot wound, leading to first-degree murder charges against Kenon, Oliver, and Davis.
However, in 2012, a jury found insufficient evidence to convict Kenon and his co-defendants of first-degree murder. The state failed to meet its burden of proof, resulting in the acquittal of Kenon and Davis. Oliver, on the other hand, remained in custody due to an Alford Plea he accepted in 2010 for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill in connection with the shooting.
Quentin Kenon's death in 2016 did not appear to be directly related to the 2008 incident. He was found shot in the 400 block of Seymour Drive in Goldsboro and was later pronounced dead at Wayne Memorial Hospital. The circumstances surrounding his death, including any arrests, suspects, or ongoing investigations, were not detailed in the available sources.
