LaQuincy Demontaye Martin Jr., known to family as Phat, was a 14-year-old Black teenager with plans to become a barber and drive trucks. He enjoyed basketball, video games, swimming, making TikToks, and spending time with friends and family. He was preparing to start high school the summer of 2023.

On the afternoon of July 15, 2023, LaQuincy was at the Residence at Village Green Apartments pool in the Hickory Hill neighborhood of Memphis. Police say nine people arrived in an Infiniti and a Dodge Charger; a woman from that group, identified as Ashantia Dillard, accused someone at the pool of assaulting a family member. Moments later a male who had exited one of the cars opened fire with an AR-style rifle. LaQuincy and another person were struck; LaQuincy died after being taken to a hospital.

Memphis police arrested Ashantia Dillard in connection with the incident and on July 25, 2023 arrested a 15-year-old identified as Jaquavious Dillard for murder, with police saying others could also face charges. If anyone was at the pool that day or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
