Wife seeks answers after husband killed by co-worker in Opa-locka – NBC 6 South Florida

A wife is desperately searching for answers after her husband was gunned down at work in Opa-locka and police arrested his co-worker in connection with the murder.

Dashaquan Jefferies told NBC6 that Andre White changed her life.

“He was a very humble man, he didn’t deserve any of this,” Jefferies said. “Everyone says be strong, be strong. You can’t be strong all the time, sometimes it’s OK to not be OK, and I’m not, he didn’t deserve this.”

According to a police report, White got into an argument with Maurice Williams before Williams shot him outside her workplace at Arrow Asphalt & Engineering on Monday.

“He’ll say, ‘I’m at work, I love you’ – I didn’t get the text, I didn’t get the text,” Jefferies said.

According to the report, the two men were involved in a fight the week before.

“He should never have taken that job again,” Jefferies said.

Police are investigating after a man was shot outside a store in Opa-Locka.

Jefferies and White married nearly two years ago but have known each other since they were 10 years old. White had a heart of gold, a smile that lit up a room and he put others first, his wife said. He was also a deacon in training.

“He was such a God-fearing man that he would drive two hours just to get to Sunday service,” Jefferies said.

Her three boys meant everything to White.

“He loved them with every fiber of his being,” Jefferies said. “The pain I feel is not just for me, it’s for them too. So it’s my pain times three, so it’s hard.”

Jefferies wants to stay strong for her boys and remember the good times with the man who made her life better.

“God will take care of whatever He has to do for him,” Jefferies said.

NBC6 reached out to Arrow Asphalt & Engineering late Thursday night.

Williams is charged with first-degree murder and has no bail.

Jefferies has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help pay funeral expenses.
