DAQUA LAMEEK “QUAVO” RITTER | First Individual In The US To Be Convicted Of A Federal Hate Crime Based On Gender Identity | FBI Investigation Leads To Historic Sentencing Stemming From The Murder Of Ernest “Pebbles LaDime ‘Dime’” Doe Jr | ALS
LongfellowSerenade 34
Daqua Lameek “Quavo” Ritter, a South Carolina man, became the first individual in the United States to be convicted of a federal hate crime based on gender identification. The case stemmed from the murder of Ernest “Pebbles LaDime ‘Dime’” Doe Jr, a Black transgender woman, in 2019. In February 2024, a jury convicted Ritter guilty, underlining the need of federal law recognizing hate crimes based on gender identity. He was sentenced to life in prison for his role in Doe's murder, as well as additional crimes including firearms and obstruction. The conviction has significant implications for hate crime legislation and civil rights advocacy, as U.S. Attorney Adair Ford Boroughs emphasized the importance of protecting civil rights in all communities, particularly those targeted because of their race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. This case has received attention from a variety of civil rights organizations, and it is viewed as a watershed event in addressing violence against transgender people and securing justice for victims of hate crimes.

Daqua Lameek Ritter
Background of the Case
Daqua Lameek “Quavo” Ritter is a South Carolina man who gained national attention for being the first individual in the United States to be convicted of a federal hate crime based on gender identity. This landmark case arose from the tragic murder of Ernest “Pebbles LaDime ‘Dime’” Doe Jr, a Black transgender woman, in 2019. The case highlights significant issues surrounding violence against transgender individuals and the legal recognition of hate crimes motivated by gender identity.
Details of the Crime
On August 4, 2019, Ritter fatally shot Dime Doe after rumors circulated in Allendale, South Carolina, regarding their sexual relationship. Evidence presented during the trial indicated that Ritter was disturbed by these rumors. He lured Doe to a secluded area where he shot her three times in the head. Following the murder, Ritter attempted to destroy evidence by burning his clothes and disposing of the weapon used in the crime. His actions included lying to law enforcement during their investigation.
Legal Proceedings
Ritter pleaded not guilty to the charges against him; however, he was found guilty by a jury in February 2024. The jury’s decision marked a significant moment in legal history as it underscored the importance of recognizing hate crimes based on gender identity under federal law. In October 2024, he was sentenced to life in prison for his role in Doe’s murder, along with additional charges related to firearms and obstruction.
Significance of the Conviction
The conviction of Daqua Lameek Ritter is notable not only for its implications for hate crime legislation but also for its impact on civil rights advocacy. U.S. Attorney Adair Ford Boroughs emphasized that this case serves as a reminder that civil rights must be protected across all communities, particularly for those targeted due to their race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
This case has drawn attention from various civil rights organizations and has been seen as a pivotal moment in addressing violence against transgender individuals and ensuring justice for victims of hate crimes.
