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, Penny Dees leads a march.
- Penny starts the march at Asbury Park Middle School.
- She then stops at the lot on Washington Avenue and Fischer Avenue where Quiana’s body was found.
- She walks through West Lake Avenue. She ends the march 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”.
