On the early morning of Mother’s Day, May 14, 2023, JaQuell Jovonte Graham, 30, was critically injured in a shooting at the Lotus Gentleman’s Club in Prichard, Alabama, and later died at a local hospital. Two other people were wounded in the same incident. The Prichard Police Department opened an investigation and identified three men they wanted to question: Harold Miller, Raheem Catlin, and DeAngelo Miller.

Harold Miller was arrested and charged with Graham’s murder and two counts of assault for the other victims’ injuries. A judge initially denied bond for Miller; bond was later set at $190,000. Meanwhile authorities continued to seek Catlin and DeAngelo Miller for questioning in connection with the shooting.

Graham’s mother, Mary Blevins, filed a lawsuit against the Lotus Gentleman’s Club and the City of Prichard, alleging the club failed to provide adequate security and that the city ignored a history of violence at the venue; the suit seeks monetary damages and calls for the nightclub’s closure. If anyone has information about the shooting or the people named in connection with it, please come forward.
