Nicole's murder has left behind her 4yr old Son to grow up without his Mother in his life & without his new Sibling after having witnessed their murders

Nicole was shot by Quenton Thompson, 23. He shot her point blank in the face while they were in the hallway of her apartment building. She was eight months pregnant at the time of the homicide. Her four year old son witnessed the murder.

On the afternoon of the homicide, Quenton had been arguing with Nicole about money. Quentin told his friends that he was going inside to “pop” her for wasting his money. Instead of waiting, his friends left the scene.

Nicole and Quenton had been together for about three months. Their relationship had been off and on in the weeks prior to the homicide. Police report a past history of domestic violence contacts with Nicole and Quenton. Quenton was also abusive in past relationships. An ex-girlfriend filed a temporary restraining order against him. He was physically violent toward her and made numerous threats against her family.

During Quenton’s murder trial, Nicole’s four year old son testified against him and positively identified Quenton as his mother’s murderer. Upon realizing that the child could testify against him, Quenton told a cellmate, “It should have been 3, not 2” homicides.

Quenton Thompson was convicted of First Degree Intentional Homicide, First Degree Intentional Homicide of a Fetus, and Use of a Dangerous Weapon by a jury and sentenced to life in prison.
