On September 24, 2023, during a DJ Night at San Lucas Mexican Restaurant, 235 North Mosby Avenue in Littleton, someone in the crowd fired multiple shots into a dance floor of about 100 patrons. The gunfire fatally wounded 31-year-old Quayshawn Jamaine Rogers of Roanoke Rapids and injured 26-year-old Kiara Scott, who suffered a non-life-threatening leg injury and was expected to recover. Rogers was taken to ECU Health North Hospital in Roanoke Rapids, where he was pronounced dead.

The Littleton Police Department, with help from the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office, opened an immediate investigation. On September 29, 2023, 26-year-old Lavonte Taylor was arrested in Virginia, extradited to North Carolina, and charged with Rogers’s murder and the shooting of Scott. Authorities have not disclosed a motive and continue to ask anyone with information to contact the Littleton Police Department or Halifax County Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone at the event or nearby that night see something that could help the investigation?
