DeQuon Shaqual Maurice Merriweather, a 25-year-old Black male, was fatally shot on May 17, 2021, in the parking lot of a McDonald’s on Bardstown Road in Louisville. Officers from the Sixth Division found Merriweather around 3 p.m. with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators determined Merriweather was the intended target. Reports identify Davion Harris, a 20-year-old acquaintance, as the suspect after a verbal altercation that escalated and ended with Merriweather reportedly shot in the neck. Surveillance footage from Harris’s workplace captured him wearing the same clothing he had on at the scene. Harris was arrested and charged in connection with the killing; his bond was set at $250,000.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who knew Merriweather is asked to come forward and share what they know.
