In the late summer of 2019, the life of 19-year-old Quentin Lytefoot Sanisya was tragically cut short in Phoenix, Arizona. A member of the Navajo Nation, Quentin was born in Chinle, Arizona, into the Ta'neeszahnii and for the Tódích'íi'nii. Those who knew him remembered him as a loving and caring individual who had a gift for making people laugh.
He was a fan of boxing and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he worked for a company called Hard Rock Concrete.
On September 19, 2019, Quentin became a victim of gun violence in Phoenix. The specific circumstances surrounding the shooting, including the location and what led to the fatal event, have not been detailed in publicly available online sources. Similarly, information regarding any police investigation, potential suspects, or arrests in connection with his death has not been released in the news or other online reports.
Following his untimely death, funeral services were held for Quentin at the Chinle LDS Church, and he was laid to rest in Del Muerto, Arizona. His obituary remembers a young man who was always willing to help everyone and whose presence brought joy to those around him. He is survived by his parents, three sisters, and one brother. The absence of further information leaves a void in the narrative of his final moments and the quest for justice in his name.
