Dwight Lamar Poole, a 23-year-old from Roanoke, Alabama, was shot and killed on May 14, 2023. Born April 7, 2001, he was known locally and attended Handley High School in the Roanoke City Schools System. Friends and family called him YCC MUD and remembered him as a bright presence who loved helping others.

He enjoyed muscle cars and driving around town with his music. He and his partner, Sekoria Higgins, were expecting a child in November 2023. Although his death is listed on a national gun violence memorial, there are no public reports detailing the circumstances of the shooting, any suspects, or arrests; no statements from the Roanoke Police Department or local outlets are available.

Dwight’s family and community remember him as a devoted son, brother, and expectant father taken too soon. If anyone has information about what happened on May 14, 2023, or knew Dwight, please share what you can with investigators.
