Dimitri Laquan Perry was 23 when he was shot in Providence, Rhode Island, after a frightening chase late on July 6, 2015. While on the phone with his mother, Annette Perry, Dimitri said he was being followed by a black vehicle and later pulled up to a friend’s house on Nebraska Street. His mother heard him say they were shooting at him and heard three gunshots; he was taken off life support two days later and died, listed as the city’s eighth homicide that year.

Providence Police opened a homicide investigation but no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced. Officers suggested the shooting might be gang-related, and the family has been left waiting for answers. The one concrete description from the scene is that Dimitri reported the pursuing car was black; no plate number was seen.

If anyone knew Dimitri, saw a black vehicle following him that night, or has information about activity around Nebraska Street on July 6, 2015, please come forward.
