Quentin Darnell Allen, a 27-year-old Black man, was found fatally shot inside a vehicle on November 26, 2015, in Battleboro, North Carolina. The Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of shots fired around 10:30 p.m. at the Country Estates Mobile Home Park on Wave Lane and located a vehicle in a ditch at 904 Wave Lane with Allen inside, deceased from gunshot wounds.

The investigation produced multiple prosecutions tied to the killing. On October 5, 2018, Michael Sharkeen Wilson was convicted of second-degree murder and later received a lengthy prison term. Martellus Davon Sanders, 23, was sentenced to life without parole for his role in the shooting; charges for Sanders’ co-defendants were still pending at the time of his sentencing.

Anyone with information about Quentin Allen, the events at Country Estates Mobile Home Park on November 26, 2015, or the people involved is asked to come forward.
