Jose Antonia Jimenez Quinones, a 52-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on August 4, 2022, in Lowell, North Carolina. He had been returning home from work when he came upon a multi-vehicle crash at Redbud Drive and Wilkinson Boulevard and got out of his vehicle to assist. While attempting to help, Quinones was shot once in the heart and died at the scene.

Police say the shooter was a 16-year-old driver involved in the collision, later identified as Tyrin Dudley, who had stolen a firearm from a friend and fired a shot from the car he was in, causing the crash. Dudley was taken into custody shortly after the incident and charged with second-degree murder.

Quinones’ family described him as loving and helpful; his son Marco and his wife Maria Enriquez spoke about the deep loss his death caused. If anyone witnessed the crash or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
