Marquas Sintrell Roseboro, 36, was shot and killed outside the Prince Downtown Motel in Sanford, North Carolina, on June 28, 2021. Known as Mookie, he was an electrician who enjoyed photography and spending time with his children. Police found him wounded in the motel parking lot and he was taken to Central Carolina Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Within 24 hours Sanford police arrested 45-year-old Dedrick Dewayne Lipscomb of Sanford in connection with the shooting. Lipscomb was taken into custody at a home in Fayetteville and brought back to Lee County Jail on a first-degree murder charge; authorities did not disclose how he was linked to the incident or whether he knew Roseboro. The investigation remained active as the community and Roseboro’s family mourned.

If anyone knew Marquas, saw activity at the Prince Downtown Motel that day, or has information relevant to the shooting, please come forward.
