Bailey Alan Dickerson

Age 18

Princeton, West Virginia

Mother’s Day festivities end in tragedy

He had been a resident of Princeton, West Virginia, his whole life. He loved riding motorbikes in the countryside almost as much as he loved his girlfriend of more than a year.

He showed a lot of affection with his tattoos: He had her name on his left hand with a small heart, plus a larger heart tattoo on his chest.

On May 13, 2018, Bailey Alan Dickerson, 18, was fatally shot while driving away from a Mother’s Day barbecue where he had been involved in a violent altercation. His car was still moving, and rolled down the road and into another residence.
