with assault in separate case
by Matt Comer . Q-Notes staff
A suspect was arrested May 9 in the case of
a Fayetteville drag performer murdered
in April.
Zachary Lee Oaks, 22, of the 900 block of
Anarine Dr., is charged with first degree mur
der. He is accused of killing 34-year-old Jimmy
Ali McCollough. Known as his drag persona
Image Devera, McCollough worked at Club
Emages.
McCollough was found dead on April 14
on the side of Joseph St., just one street away
from the dub. Police have released few details
on the case.
In Q-Notes' May 2 print issue, McCollough’s
sister, Kathy McCollough, alleged that the

lot of the passion and the controversy, and it is
going to be a part of making some of the other
changes that we need to see happen.lt is all
part and parcel of what we need to do as a
country”
Democrats, he says, have been far too care
ful. In “Revolution,” Lux speaks of the
Democrats’“Culture of Caution.”
“The party has played it safe and played it
cautious,” he told Q-Wbtes. “The backlash pro
duced in the 1960s really made Democrats
more wary of big change. I think Democrats
need to get out of the habit of being cautious
and careful and start to really think boldly.
They need to say,‘Look, you are either equal or
you’re not. We are going to bring all Americans
into full equality or we’re not.’”
Lux said he expected his North Carolina
visit to be a productive one, but he admits it
has been a long road. After visiting the Tar
Heel State, Lux tmd his entourage of fellow
strategists and research assistants have logged
more than 50 events in more than 20 cities.
And they’re not done yet — in the months
ahead they’ll head back out for a book tour
through the Pacific Northwest.
But Lux is committed to his work, and if
his bold opinions are any indication he’s likely
to stay that way.
“My view is that when progressives have
won the day, America has moved forward. And
when conservatives have won it, the country
has moved backward.” I

onto newsstands, police
released a flyer asking for
community assistance and
offering a $1,000 reward..
It isn’t clear whether the
flyer led to Oaks’ arrest.
