Dominique Green (Dee Bo) Fatally Shot in Car at Crawford and Monroe Street in Quincy, Florida in Early Morning Hours Following Afterparty; No Suspects Identified and Investigation Remains Ongoing
QUINCY, FL — April 27, 2025 — In the early hours of Sunday morning, tragedy struck the tight-knit community of Quincy, Florida, when 34-year-old Dominique Green, known affectionately to many as “Dee Bo,” was shot and killed while sitting in a car parked at the intersection of Crawford and Monroe Street. The deadly incident occurred at approximately 2 a.m., shortly after a large afterparty reportedly drew a crowd to the area. As of the latest update, no arrests have been made, and authorities have not identified any suspects. The investigation, according to local police, remains active and ongoing.
A Community in Mourning: Who Was Dominique Green?
Dominique Green was more than just a name in a tragic headline—he was a son, a brother, a father, and a friend. Described by many who knew him as charismatic, thoughtful, and fiercely loyal to those he loved, Dominique, or “Dee Bo” as he was commonly called, was widely respected and deeply woven into the social fabric of Quincy. Born and raised in the city, Dominique attended local schools and remained involved in his community into adulthood.
“He had a heart of gold,” said Carla Simmons, a childhood friend and neighbor. “He looked out for people. He always tried to keep the peace, even when others didn’t. I can’t believe he’s gone.”
Friends say that Dominique often participated in local outreach initiatives, particularly those centered around mentoring young men and keeping them out of trouble. He was passionate about second chances and frequently advocated for others who, like him, had seen tough times but were working to rebuild their lives.
Timeline of the Shooting
According to the Quincy Police Department (QPD), the incident occurred around 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, shortly after a large afterparty in the area. Witnesses reported that dozens of people had gathered at a private location, and the crowd spilled into the surrounding streets. It was during this chaotic time that gunfire erupted near the corner of Crawford and Monroe Street.
Dominique Green was reportedly seated inside a vehicle when the shooting began. Eyewitnesses say they heard multiple gunshots, though the total number of rounds fired has not been officially confirmed by police. Some witnesses claimed to have seen a vehicle speed away from the scene, but conflicting reports have made it difficult for investigators to determine a precise description of the suspect or suspects involved.
When first responders arrived on the scene, they discovered Dominique suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite immediate life-saving efforts by emergency medical personnel, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Quincy Police Department’s Ongoing Investigation
At a press briefing held later that morning, Quincy Police Chief James Rollins confirmed that investigators were combing through surveillance footage, canvassing the neighborhood, and speaking with attendees of the party in hopes of gathering information that could lead to an arrest. However, he acknowledged the difficulty of breaking through what he called a “wall of silence.”
“We need the community’s help,” Chief Rollins stated. “Someone saw something. Someone heard something. We are urging anyone with information to come forward—anonymously, if necessary.”
Despite numerous interviews and tips, police have yet to identify a suspect. Forensic teams processed the scene throughout the early morning, collecting shell casings, analyzing the vehicle, and dusting for fingerprints. Authorities have also confirmed they are reviewing recordings from city surveillance cameras and private security systems in the vicinity.
Local Reaction and Community Response
The news of Dominique’s death spread quickly through social media, prompting an outpouring of grief and outrage. Vigils were organized almost immediately, and friends, family members, and concerned citizens gathered at the site of the shooting to leave flowers, candles, and heartfelt messages.
“My cousin didn’t deserve this,” said Jasmine Green, Dominique’s cousin. “He was just sitting in his car, minding his business. This senseless violence has to stop.”
Community leaders echoed those sentiments. Reverend Marcus Tillman of New Hope Baptist Church, a longtime advocate for reducing gun violence in the area, held a prayer circle at the scene on Sunday evening.
“We’re tired of burying our sons,” he said passionately. “We need to heal our streets, but that starts with accountability and cooperation. If you know who did this, speak up.”
Gun Violence and Quincy’s Recent History
The shooting death of Dominique Green is the latest in a disturbing pattern of gun-related incidents in Gadsden County. While Quincy is generally considered a peaceful community, authorities acknowledge a recent uptick in firearm-related crimes, particularly involving younger adults and gatherings that spiral out of control.
In a statement issued Sunday night, the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office expressed concern about illegal firearms circulating in the community and pledged additional support to local police.
“We cannot afford to lose any more lives to reckless gun violence,” the statement read. “We stand with the Quincy Police Department in their pursuit of justice for Dominique Green.”
Lack of Suspects Raises Questions
As the investigation continues, many residents have voiced frustration over the apparent lack of leads. Some attendees of the party have reportedly been hesitant to cooperate with police, either out of fear of retaliation or distrust of law enforcement.
“It’s always ‘no one saw nothing’ until it’s your family,” wrote one user on a local Facebook group. “Dominique was loved by many. He deserves justice. Somebody talk.”
Police confirmed that while they have received several tips, most have been too vague or unverifiable to act upon.
“We’re working around the clock,” said Detective Angela Freeman. “But the community needs to meet us halfway. We need eyes, ears, and voices.”
Family Left in Grief and Confusion
Dominique Green leaves behind two young children, a grieving mother, siblings, and countless cousins, friends, and extended family members. The loss has been deeply felt by all who knew him.
“He was the light in our family,” said his sister, Tanisha Green. “Always cracking jokes, always there when you needed him. I still don’t believe this is real.”
The family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help cover funeral expenses and provide for Dominique’s children in the coming months.
“This is not just about burying our brother,” Tanisha added. “It’s about making sure his kids know how loved and respected their father was. And it’s about finding who did this and making sure they can’t do it again.”
Community Action: Candlelight Vigil and Rally Planned
In response to the tragedy, several community groups have organized a candlelight vigil and anti-violence rally to be held Friday evening at Tanyard Creek Park, less than a mile from where Dominique was killed. Organizers hope the event will serve both as a memorial and a call to action.
“We have to turn pain into purpose,” said Linda Rhodes, a local activist who works with the nonprofit “Mothers Against Gun Violence.” “Dominique’s death can’t just be another hashtag. We need change, and we need it now.”
Speakers at the event will include city officials, clergy, youth leaders, and survivors of gun violence. The vigil will conclude with a moment of silence and a balloon release.
