Antonio Luis Quinones, 26, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was shot around 9:30 p.m. on July 1, 2021, on Raleigh Boulevard and later died of his injuries. His vehicle struck the back of a dually truck after crossing over U.S. Highway 64 at the stoplight before Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. A nearby 911 caller who rushed to the scene found Quinones unresponsive with his head down and reported that a passenger in Quinones’ vehicle had pulled a gun on them and narrowly missed; that caller was also shot at but survived. The driver of the dually truck fled after hearing gunshots.

Raleigh police identified 27-year-old Darius Lamar Watson as the shooter and charged him with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon; Watson was arrested on July 9, 2021, and linked to the shooting through warrants. Quinones was taken to a hospital with serious injuries and later succumbed to those wounds. His funeral was held July 9, 2021, at the C.A. Haywood, Sr. Memorial Chapel, and he was interred at Carolina Biblical Gardens in Garner.
