Westley Edward Cheeks, 30, was fatally shot on Saturday, April 1, 2017, in Lansing, Michigan. His body was found inside a residence on the city’s east side. Investigators described the shooting as a targeted incident and said there was no immediate threat to the community.

Within days police arrested 22-year-old Dequaries Devonte Jackson of Lansing. Jackson was taken into custody on April 5, 2017, after a coordinated effort by the Lansing Violent Crime Impact Team, Michigan State Police fugitive team, the Detroit fugitive team, and the U.S. Marshals Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team. He was charged with open murder and weapons offenses. Court proceedings that began in January 2018 included a witness saying the confrontation may have involved a dispute over money and other unresolved issues between Cheeks and Jackson.

Westley Edward Cheeks, also referred to as Westley Edward Cheeks, Sr., is survived by a son, Westley Edward Cheeks, Jr., his parents and siblings. Does anyone have information about the days before April 1, 2017, or knew Westley’s routines and associates?
