Ralpheal Kennedy, a 24-year-old African American man, was shot while sitting in his car at the intersection of South Davis Street and East Carpenter Street in Dallas, North Carolina, on January 31, 2017, around 7:15 p.m. He was taken to CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia and died of his injuries on February 3, 2017, his 25th birthday.

The investigation produced multiple arrests. Jakevious Raheim Lynch and Aaron Rainey were charged with first-degree murder; Amber Deaton was charged with felony accessory after the fact and was held at the Gaston County Jail under a $500,000 bond for allegedly providing transportation for Rainey to South Carolina. Rainey’s sister said he might have been present at the scene but was not the gunman.

In November 2018 Lynch pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 16-to-20 year sentence for his role in the drive-by shooting that killed Kennedy. Does anyone have information about Ralpheal’s movements that evening or knew him personally and can help fill in what happened at that intersection?
