Quincy Shane Roush, 29, of Lancaster, Ohio, was shot and killed on August 12, 2002, inside a Citgo gasoline station in Dobson, North Carolina. The attack occurred when an assailant carrying a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun entered the station and shot Roush and Richard Calvin Hawks, 53, of Lowgap, North Carolina. The motive stated in reports was robbery; the shooter sought money and valuables from the gas station.
Quincy Javon Allen, 22 at the time, was arrested on August 14, 2002, in Mitchell County, Texas, ending a string of murders attributed to him across North and South Carolina that summer. He was extradited to North Carolina and charged in the deaths of Roush and Hawks; he was also charged in the killings of Dale Evonne Hall, 45, and Jedediah Harr, 22, in South Carolina. Proceedings in both states included prosecution and sentencing decisions.
Anyone with memories of the Citgo station or who knew Quincy Roush and his movements around Dobson in August 2002 is asked to share what they remember.
