Quenton Demarco Lowe, known as Q, was 21 when he was fatally shot multiple times outside a residence in the 1600 block of Great Oak Road at the Pierson Hills apartment complex in Peoria on August 18, 2015. The shooting happened about 1:20 p.m. and resulted in his death.

Born February 4, 1994, Quenton was the son of Arthur and Laginia Lowe. He graduated from Manual High School in 2012 and played on the basketball team, later attending Lincoln Land Community College and Illinois Valley Community College. He worked as a cashier at Kroger and as a cook at McDonald’s, and participated in Kingdom Temple C.O.G.I.C., including the Youth Men of Integrity and Youth Department. He is survived by his parents, his daughter Ki’Yah Lowe, his grandmother Betty Blocker, three brothers and three sisters. A funeral service was held August 27, 2015, at the Church of the Living God, Temple 130, in Peoria.

Reports state the shooting arose from a dispute over a dice game; a 19-year-old, Darrell Brown, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the case. Does anyone have information about Quenton or that afternoon at Pierson Hills?
