Remembering Quiana Dees
The sun may have not been shining, but the love was there for a 12-year-old girl who was murdered nearly 20 years ago.
Asbury Park, NJ – The sun may have not been shining but the love was there 12-year-old Quiana Dees. Quiana was murdered nearly 20 years ago and the case remains unsolved.
Quiana Dees March 2012
The community came out in support of the 20th Annual Quiana Dees Stop The Violence March.
Dees was found in a vacant lot on the borders Neptune Township and Asbury Park, New Jersey laying lifeless with a bullet in her head. The next day she would die. Still, no one charged with her murder.
Every year since Quiana’s murder, her mother Penny Dees organizes the march that begins at Asbury Park Middle School, stops at the lot at Washington Avenue and Fisher Avenue where the body was found, travels through West Lake Avenue, and this year ended at the West Side Community Center.
Monmouth County cold case
Quiana’s killing is considered to be a cold case as no leads or arrests have been made since her murder. The Asbury Park-Neptune NAACP plans to send a letter to cold cases to investigate what really happened to Quiana.
The people in the community continue to speak up and be heard, and will walk until justice is served. As Penny Dees said it best, “We will walk until we get closure”.
