Cequan Lenard Scales, 25, was killed on February 10, 2019, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Born May 9, 1993, to Tarror D. Scales and Roderick L. Riley, he earned a GED in 2012 and was remembered by family and friends as caring, protective and charismatic.
Shortly before 2:40 a.m. on the night of his death, Cequan was found in the parking lot of Absolute Ultra Bar & Lounge at 4218 N Liberty St. with a gunshot wound after an altercation broke out as patrons were leaving. He was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where he later died.
Investigators arrested two Winston-Salem men, Gregory Allen Thompson Jr., 23, and Danny Lamore Ford, 25, and charged them with murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Both were held in the Forsyth County Detention Center and were scheduled to appear in court on March 7.
Did anyone see or hear anything that night in the area of Absolute Ultra Bar & Lounge that could help Cequan’s family and investigators?
