J’Quan Damonte Robinson was an 18-year-old African American male who was fatally shot five times on North Swing Road in Greensboro, North Carolina, on August 14, 2017. Police found him dead at the scene; authorities described the killing and a subsequent robbery as resulting from a drug deal that went wrong.

Azadia Jefferies was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and robbery with a deadly weapon. Jefferies’ defense attorney said Jefferies acted out of fear, claiming Robinson was pulling a gun. Robinson’s family rejected that account as overkill. Jefferies later pleaded guilty and received a prison term of at least 15 years and 10 months.

Family members remember J’Quan as a positive, caring young man who always had a smile. His mother, Debra McBride Robinson, and his younger brother, D’Marion Robinson, say they continue to struggle with grief and have not found closure.
