Fuquan Donee Fallen, 33, was shot and killed on July 27, 2022, in Eden, North Carolina. Known to family and friends as Weego, he was born May 28, 1989, in Orange County and grew up in Rockingham County, where he attended local schools and graduated from Rockingham Community College. Those who knew him recall his contagious laugh, warm smile and gentle spirit.

Police and deputies responded to a disturbance call the night of the shooting after hearing multiple gunshots at a home. Responding officers found several people fleeing and discovered three victims; Fuquan was found dead in the yard. Investigators described a large, chaotic scene with shots fired from various directions. Authorities say Waylan Ray Tuttle, 18, fired indiscriminately and wounded another person, Tauvii Clark.

Two Eden residents, Justin Warren Joyce, 25, and Waylan Ray Tuttle, 18, were arrested in connection with the incident. Charges initially included voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill; warrants for first-degree murder were later issued and both men were held at the Rockingham County Jail without bond. Fuquan is survived by his parents Deanna Renee King Nunnally and Floyd Fallen, Sr., his children Silas Mc Laughlin and Kaylea Fallen, and siblings Feniqua Fallen, Floyd Fallen, Jr. and Charmekia Watlington-Johnson.
