Nineteen-year-old Jhonquis Compton, known as Squirrel, was shot to death on the night of October 14, 2016, at an off-campus Tennessee State University dormitory on West Heiman Street in Nashville. The gunshot to his head proved fatal despite emergency treatment at a hospital.

Metro Nashville Police opened an investigation that early on suggested the shooting may have been connected to a drug deal. Detectives released a description of a person of interest: a Black man with gold twists in his hair who fled the scene in a dark Pontiac sedan. Police asked the public to contact Crime Stoppers with information; callers could remain anonymous and might be eligible for a reward.

No arrests or suspect names have been publicly announced and the case has grown cold. Does anyone have information about that October night or the man with the gold twists who fled in the Pontiac?
