From Metro Police February 21, 2023
Homicide Unit detectives are searching for Kendrick William, 20, who was recently indicted for the November 2022 fatal shooting of Daryl Q. Shannon Jr. Shannon, 18, was found in the driver’s seat of a Dodge Journey van in the parking lot of Paddock at Grandview Apartments, 5515 Scruggs Lane.
Brandon Waire, 20, was arrested that day for homicide and aggravated robbery as a potential drug motive was being investigated. The investigation also revealed a second individual was in the Dodge.
After the gunfire, a silver Hyundai fled to Glastonbury Woods Apartments at 665 Glastonbury Road. It was vacant when officers found it. A short time later five persons approached the car, including Waire. All five were brought to MNPD headquarters for questioning.
One of those persons, a 16-year-old, was in possession of a pistol believed to be the murder weapon. The 16-year-old was charged at Juvenile Court with being an accessory after the fact of homicide, unlawful gun possession, possession of cocaine for resale, and marijuana possession.
Another of the individuals, Dakiyah Childress, 19, who owns the Hyundai, was charged with tampering with evidence and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Childress is alleged to have altered the exterior appearance of her car by removing black duct tape from the rear bumper in an effort to prevent police from finding it.
William was indicted on homicide and aggravated robbery charges. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
