Derail Saquan Whisenant was 24 when he was killed on June 4, 2020, in South Akron. The shooting occurred on Brighton Drive and grew out of a neighborhood dispute that escalated into a deadly altercation. A 20-year-old man, Erick Sarzosa, who lived next door to the family of a 14-year-old girl also killed that day, was arrested and charged in connection with the incident; charges reported include two counts of murder, tampering with evidence, and obstructing official business.

Whisenant is remembered by his family as kind-hearted and devoted, a father to his son King Derail Whisenant and beloved by parents Kiannia Whisenant and Mathew Bailey. The community was deeply affected by the deaths of Whisenant and 14-year-old TyLeia Junius.

Does anyone have information about the events on Brighton Drive on June 4, 2020, or knew Derail and his family?
