Laquinces Quinny Scott was 18 when he was found dead from gunshot wounds behind a building at Woodbridge Apartments in Texarkana, Texas, on February 7, 2021, around 12:30 a.m. The shooting at the apartment complex prompted an investigation by the Texarkana Texas Police Department.

Authorities arrested 22-year-old Sonya Hopkins and charged her with murder; she was booked in the Bi-State Jail. A Bowie County grand jury later declined to indict Hopkins, and the murder charge was dismissed. Hopkins had a prior arrest on drug charges in August 2017, a detail that emerged during reporting on the case.

Scott’s death affected his family and the local community and left questions about the circumstances and legal process surrounding the case. If anyone knew Laquinces Scott or saw activity at Woodbridge Apartments on the night of February 7, 2021, please share information that might help clarify what happened.
