Tequane Sanders was 21 when he was fatally shot on July 30, 2023, in Roanoke, Virginia. Remembered by family and friends as a goofy young man who always smiled, he was a former student at William Fleming High School and a father to a daughter.

A family member started a GoFundMe to help with expenses after his death, and his memory is listed on the National Gun Violence Memorial where loved ones have left candles and tributes. The specific circumstances of the shooting — including the exact location and time — have not been released.

As of late 2025, the Roanoke Police Department had not provided information about suspects, arrests, or the investigation’s status. Does anyone have information about Tequane or the July 30, 2023 shooting that could help investigators or the family?
