Cededrion Jerrod Whitlock, a 19-year-old senior at Jack Britt High School, was shot and killed in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He left home around 7:30 p.m. on March 7, 2021, to meet a friend; police were called for reported gunshots at about 8:17 p.m. near the 2800 block of Blockade Runner Drive but found no evidence of a shooting that night. The next morning his father, Cedric Whitlock, found Cededrion’s body beside a neighbor’s house on Windjammer Circle; Cededrion had run about three blocks after being shot before collapsing.

Cededrion was involved in football, loved to dance, and was active in his church choir and praise dance when he was younger. He was the oldest of seven siblings; his mother Amanda Smith and stepmother Dawn Whitlock have described the family’s deep grief. No arrests have been announced and the family has criticized the Fayetteville Police Department for limited communication. The neighborhood memorial for Cededrion was later vandalized and the cross with his name and picture was stolen.

Does anyone in the Fayetteville area have information about Cededrion’s movements on the evening of March 7, 2021?
