Robert Edward Teat III, 31, known professionally as rapper Bobby Dimes, was shot on the evening of Monday, November 28, 2016, on the 2200 block of North Jefferson Street in Wilmington’s West Side. His death was recorded as Wilmington’s 21st fatal shooting of 2016.

Teat’s music had addressed violence, imprisonment and loss in his community, and his death drew a large response from Wilmington’s music scene and social media. Police released few details about the attack. His mother, Trudy Boardley, publicly suggested the killing may have been retaliatory and noted recent legal trouble — Teat had been arrested on November 2, 2016, in connection with an alleged October shooting — but no public evidence has established a motive or identified a shooter.

If anyone knew Robert Teat, where he spent time, or has information about the November 28–29, 2016 shooting, please share what is known with the Wilmington police.
