On May 1, 2020, 24-year-old Marquavious Lurks was fatally shot inside the Jewelry Box & D’va D’vyne on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis, Tennessee. The shooting followed an earlier confrontation after Calvin Watson was reportedly making unwelcome physical and verbal advances toward patrons, which escalated into a physical altercation. Watson left the business, returned with a weapon, and shot Lurks. Officers found Lurks unresponsive inside the establishment.

Surveillance footage captured the entire incident and became a central piece of evidence. Prosecutors used that video and witness testimony to challenge Watson’s claim that Lurks had pointed a gun at him and that he acted in self-defense. A jury convicted Calvin Watson of first-degree murder in November 2024.

If anyone was present at the Jewelry Box & D’va D’vyne that night or has additional information about what led up to the shooting, please share what is known.
