A fatal domestic dispute in a Danville home ended a life on March 31, 2024. Quayshawn Malik Witherspoon, 32, was shot multiple times inside a residence in the 600 block of Fairhaven Circle on a Sunday afternoon. Danville police responded about 1:20 p.m., found Witherspoon with multiple gunshot wounds, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 33-year-old housemate, Louis Sirach Garnett III, was at the residence when officers arrived and was taken into custody without incident. Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the two men and involved no other persons; Garnett was charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and was being held at the Danville City Jail without bond.

Witherspoon was born in New York City and is mourned by his parents, children, and siblings. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon or knew Witherspoon and can help clarify the events, please share what is known.
