Tramaine Locklear, 34, was fatally shot on July 23, 2023, in the parking lot of a gentleman’s club in Cleveland. He was struck multiple times in the chest during an exchange of gunfire in the club’s parking areas and was taken by private vehicle to MetroHealth Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The weekend of July 23 was especially violent in Cleveland, with multiple shootings that left three people dead and ten injured.

Authorities later identified Marlon Benn as the primary suspect in Locklear’s death and in a separate April 30, 2023, shooting in which a woman was allegedly fired at while driving. Benn was located and arrested in Miami, Florida, on December 15, 2023; he faces aggravated murder and felonious assault charges and is awaiting extradition to Ohio. Locklear was born December 30, 1988, in Cleveland to Tonjunia Locklear and Eric Jones and was raised near 156th and Lakeshore.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything in the parking lot that night that could help clarify what happened?
