On Monday two out of the three men accused of killing a Kent woman in 2023 faced a judge for murder charges.
Kent Police say Dwight Harris, Artavious Magee, and Jaiquane Wheeler shot and killed 48-year-old Amy Dyke while she was in the car with two other people.
They tell us 58 rounds were fired at the car. Dyke was shot multiple times, including in the head, and she died the next day.
Arrests were finally made in the case last week after a community tip led Kent Police to the three suspects.
Prosecutors say this is not the first time each of these suspects have been accused of killing someone.
Wheeler, Harris, and Magee were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Both Wheeler and Magee are also facing separate current killing charges from 2023 as well.
Charging documents show Wheeler shot and killed a man in July 2023.
Magee is accused of shooting and killing a minor in April 2023.
Harris was convicted of manslaughter in a 1994 case.
A year and a half after Amy Dyke was shot and killed, her daughter Lyndsey Dyke tells us she misses her every day.
“I didn’t think I was going to lose her for another 30-40 years,” Dyke said.
She said she knows the court process will likely be very slow, but hopes justice is served.
“It does bring us some peace that the three guys are in custody I’m just hoping that they won’t see daylight again,” Dyke said.
Dyke says Amy was the best mom she could’ve asked for.
“She always put others first and we’ve had a rough life, but she always figured out a way to make us happy,” Dyke said.
Now, with a five-month-old baby, and a grandson her mother will never meet, Lyndsey said she tries to pass on the lessons she learned from her mom.
“He was born just two days before the one-year anniversary of the incident he’s our little angel baby that she sent us,” Dyke said.
These suspects are expected to be back in court in a few weeks.
