Anthony TJ Quinn Myers Jr. was 24 when he was shot dead on the night of June 11, 2020, after leaving North Park Grill on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston. He was at the bar with a female companion when an argument between other patrons near the exit escalated; as Myers and the woman walked to the parking lot, gunfire erupted. Officers who arrived about 1:40 a.m. found Myers unresponsive; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman survived but sustained a gunshot wound to her arm that required hospitalization and carried a risk of permanent damage.

Myers was a father and a truck driver who worked for his family’s business, Myers Transport, and for Ravenell Total Works. He attended Cross High School, played football, and participated in the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Club. The North Charleston Police Department, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Task Force, investigated the homicide. On August 26, 2020, authorities arrested Aubrey Dupree Tucker, 36, and Shaquera Rachan Steadley-Burnette, 35, on charges including murder, attempted murder, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
