Isaiah Malik Gillespie was 20 when he was fatally shot in Salisbury, North Carolina. The shooting happened the night of November 6, 2017; police were called shortly before midnight after a witness saw an injured person being placed in a car. Isaiah was taken by private vehicle to Novant Health Rowan Medical Center, where he died of gunshot wounds on November 7, 2017.

Isaiah was born October 3, 1997, in Rowan County, graduated from Northwest High School and was a student at the Arts Institute of Charlotte. Investigators reported that Isaiah and Terry Eugene Watson Jr. knew each other and had been in a dispute over a woman. Watson was arrested in Lexington on November 8, 2017, and charged with murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and assaulting a female.

Isaiah’s family remembered him for his loving nature and the memories he shared with his mother, Shanica Gillespie Watson, and his father, Beauford Jefferies. Does anyone have information about Isaiah or the events that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
