Atlante’ McArthur Dent was 18 when his body was found in Roanoke, Virginia, on the morning of November 27, 2017. Authorities opened a homicide investigation after Dent’s fatal gunshot wounds to the hip and chest were discovered following a late-night search for his whereabouts.

Investigators arrested 20-year-old Denke Tequan Gaither in connection with the shooting. A witness said they heard gunshots as Dent opened Gaither’s car door; police say Gaither told officers he had seen strangers in his vehicle and fired in their direction, unsure whether he had struck anyone. Police reported finding $15 on Dent that was believed to have come from Gaither’s car.

Reports say Gaither later pleaded no contest to charges including second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Did anyone in Roanoke know Dent’s movements that night or see him near that car?
