Jerquell O’Bryant Cheatham Sr. was 21 when he was fatally shot inside Illusions Night Club in South Richmond on January 18, 2016. Known as Quell or JOC, he was a father of two, engaged to be married, and described by those who knew him as someone who enjoyed playing pool, singing, and spending time with family.

A witness said a man with a gun walked onto the dance floor and shot Cheatham multiple times; a second man was also shot and a woman was struck by a car while fleeing the building, and both survived. Cheatham was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators identified 27-year-old Trevell A. Harvey as the shooter; in May 2016 a jury found Harvey guilty of first-degree murder and use of a firearm, and a judge imposed a life sentence in August 2016.

At the time of his death, Cheatham was a person of interest in the October 24, 2015, road-rage killing of Nickolas Clavier, who was shot during a confrontation while taking his children fishing. With Cheatham’s death, authorities closed the investigation into Clavier’s killing.

Does anyone have additional details about Cheatham’s life or the events in the club that night?
