Zieyah Zay Wade was a 22-year-old African American man killed on April 3, 2021, in Wilmington, North Carolina. He attended a house party at 710 Kidder Street; shortly after midnight unknown assailants fired about 20 rounds. Wade was struck by gunfire that pierced his heart, right lung and multiple internal organs and was found dead on the floor of the house by EMS. Two other people, 21-year-old Shamir Jones and 16-year-old Destiny Roland, were also killed in the shooting.

The Wilmington Police Department says there were multiple shooters and that the incident had gang connections, but investigators have released few details, named no suspects and made no arrests. Some people who were at the party have declined to give statements, and police continue to seek help from anyone with information. Zieyah’s mother, Kisha Wade, has publicly vowed to keep pursuing justice for her son.

If anyone at the 710 Kidder Street party or with knowledge of the shooting can help, please share what you know with Wilmington police.
