March for Justice: Solving The Murder of Quiana Dees

Asbury Park, NJ – 18 years ago the body of 12-year-old Quiana Dees was found in a vacant lot, laying lifeless with a bullet in her head.

The next day she would die. Still no one charged with her murder.

Quiana Dees March for justice

Every year since Quiana’s murder, her mother Penny Dees, organizes a march that begins at Asbury Park Middle School, stops at the lot at Washington Avenue and Fischer Avenue where Quiana’s body was found, travels through West Lake Avenue, and ends at City Hall.

Penny Dees says “We will walk until we get closure!”

Quiana was at a party that night with 200 other students, but solid information has yet to surface.

“Someone has to know something”, founder Keith Covin of Unheard Voices said. “There were too many people there for someone not to know something”.

Residents, friends, and family marched the streets for justice for Quiana. Marchers chanted “No Justice, No Peace” “Speak Up, Wake Up, Just Go Head and Do It”.

Check out the video of marchers expressing their views on the situation and them march for justice for Quiana.

Anyone with information of the case is asked to call Detective Delisa Brazile at 800-533-7443 or Neptune Detective Michael D’Amico at 732-988-8000.
