Kameesha Dae’zuhnaka Powell, 21, was killed during an outbreak of gunfire at a gathering at Bando nightclub, 228 Broadway Road, Chadbourn, North Carolina, in the early hours of July 3, 2021. Chadbourn police found two other victims, De’onde Qwabe Xavier Sadler, 27, and Mack Darren Jenkins, Jr., 26, dead at the scene; Powell was among additional gunshot victims taken to Columbus Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead there.
Investigators did not release details about what sparked the violence at the party. By five months after the killings no arrests had been announced, and the state offered up to $20,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction; Ordashia Zhane McFadden, 22, was also reported assaulted in the incident. Chadbourn, a town of about 1,600 residents, had been dealing with rising violent crime and recent controversy involving the former police chief, William Spivey, which community members say has complicated trust in law enforcement.
Did anyone attend that night or know anything about who was at the gathering that could help bring answers for Kameesha’s family?
