Dwante Eugene Te’ the Great Patterson, a 32-year-old Salisbury, North Carolina man who worked in lawn and landscaping services, was shot and killed on November 29, 2011. The shooting occurred at a home on Mildred Avenue after an argument; Patterson had confronted 20-year-old Terrell Jamal Bowman, described as the ex-boyfriend of Patterson’s girlfriend Wendy Lilly, about assaulting his child the previous week. Patterson was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center, where he died.

Patterson is survived by eight sons and six daughters and his girlfriend of 13 years, Julia Medrano. Warrants for murder were issued for Bowman after he fled the scene in a white Mazda; he was later arrested and charged. Bowman ultimately accepted a plea to second-degree murder in 2014 and received a sentence of just over 10 years to 13 years in prison. Patterson’s family held a Celebration of Life and he was buried in Byers Cemetery.

Are there details about the night on Mildred Avenue or witnesses who haven’t yet come forward that could shed more light on what happened?
