On January 1, 2018, Jyhaad D. Grant, 25, was shot and killed outside a teen club at 5809 North 50th Street in Tampa after organizers closed early because of fights. A crowd of 150 to 200 people was leaving when security guards Keyon Williams, 28, and Connor Harm, 18, who were licensed to carry, reported hearing fireworks then gunfire. They said they saw a weapon fired from a car and returned fire. Grant and 15-year-old Julissa D. Jackson, who were inside the vehicle, were both killed. Two handguns, a 9 mm and a .380, were recovered inside the car, and the vehicle was impounded for evidence processing.

The security guards were employed by A.J. Cardinal Group, doing business as Eagle One Security Force, and asserted they acted in self-defense; preliminary evidence was reported to support their account and no charges were pending at the time. Grant left behind a 2-month-old daughter and a long-term partner; Jackson was the mother of a 2-month-old son. Does anyone have further information about what happened that night or saw the vehicle as the crowd was leaving?
