On the night of May 18, 2021, gunfire erupted inside VIBEZ Restaurant and Lounge on Ashley Phosphate Road in North Charleston, South Carolina. Thirty-year-old Kadeem Felder was struck by a gunshot to his mid-body region while on the dance floor. Off-duty officers at the scene saw a large crowd leaving; several people carried Mr. Felder out and laid him on the ground. He was taken to Trident Medical Center after first aid at the scene and died a few hours later. The Charleston County Coroner listed a gunshot wound as the cause of death.

Investigators identified three suspects: Edmound Franklin Jr., Joseph Jerome Jenkins, and Saquan Moody. Franklin and Jenkins were arrested and faced murder charges that were later recorded as Dismissed Not Indicted. The specific charges and status for Moody have not been publicly detailed. In July 2023 the family, represented by LaRonda Johnson, filed a civil lawsuit against the nightclub owners, Randolph Alston, LLC, and the security company on duty, Black Armor Security Services, LLC, alleging negligence in failing to prevent weapons from being brought into the club. The nightclub has since closed and now operates under a new name.

If anyone was at VIBEZ that night or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
