It is believed that he had been shot the night before his body was discovered on the morning of April 7, 2017. His death was investigated as a homicide, contributing to a rise in violent crime in the city that year.
Stanley, born on December 25, 1953, was remembered as a cherished member of his family and community. He was a beloved son and had grown up in the Mount Olive Institutional Missionary Baptist Church. Those who knew him recalled a kind and friendly man who always had a smile on his face. His passing was a significant loss to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
In the wake of his tragic death, family and friends gathered to mourn and remember a life taken too soon.
