Quajuae Alexus Kennedy was 21 when she was shot and killed on April 7, 2017, in the parking lot of McCroskey’s Irish Pub and Grill in Hickory, North Carolina. Kennedy was in a car with two other 21-year-olds, Justin Michael Aiken and Cody Manood Bouphavong, when witnesses reported a car circling the lot with a man hanging out of a window holding an assault rifle while another man approached from behind and fired into the vehicle. All three victims were taken to a nearby hospital; Kennedy later died of her injuries.

Investigators found no apparent connection between the victims and the suspects. Two 28-year-old men, Greydon Keith Hansen and Dontray Tyrell Cumberlander, were arrested and charged in the attack. Both pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree murder, one count of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, and one count of discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle; they were sentenced to 64 to 82 years in prison. Family members spoke publicly about their grief during the proceedings, describing the killings as senseless.

Did anyone who knew Quajuae or the other victims see them that night or have information about what happened in the parking lot?
