Remembering Kianna T Jones | Fayetteville News

North Carolina Central University is observing a solemn moment of silence at 10:40 AM Tuesday to honor Kianna T. Jones, a vibrant 24-year-old student, mother, and beloved campus figure who tragically passed away in Lumberton on August 20. Known as “Sunshine,” Kianna was a junior in behavioral and social sciences, a talented makeup artist, a brand ambassador, and an active member of Curve Appeal — all while fiercely raising her two-year-old daughter. Her funeral will be held Sunday in Fairmont, with visitation the evening before. Authorities have arrested 22-year-old Cedrione K. McDowell in connection with her death, charging him with first-degree murder and alleging he also targeted her friend Martev Gunter that night. Chancellor Karrie G. Dixon urged the community to come together in remembrance, prayer, and support for Kianna’s family and loved ones during this heartbreaking time.
