Incident Detail
She was considered “missing and endangered” after she was last seen near downtown Roanoke Rapids, approximately 80 miles northeast of Raleigh. Then, on February 10, officers searching an area along Old Highway Road in neighboring Northampton County found the body of Quameisha Branch.
She “died of an apparent gunshot wound to the head,” police said at the time. “Based on our investigation, a murder warrant has been issued for the arrest of (Monquette) Douglas,” authorities wrote. Douglas, a Garysburg resident, was believed to be “armed and dangerous” before turning himself in to Halifax County deputies. Officers said Douglas had been dating the teen’s mother.
Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Bobby Martin told McClatchy News in an email that he was “not at liberty to discuss the role the mother played with respect to the integrity of the case.” The investigation is ongoing and anyone with leads is asked to call police at 252-533-2810 or Crime Stoppers at 252-583-4444.
The teen’s body was found two weeks after she went missing, North Carolina police say. Half-brother charged Boy’s “suspicious death” leads to murder charge for mother’s boyfriend, North Carolina police say.
