Shaquan M. Willoughby, a 23-year-old resident of Daytona Beach, Florida, tragically lost his life on August 28, 2021. The Daytona Beach Police Department responded to a weapons complaint at an apartment complex near Beville Road and Williamson Boulevard early that morning. Upon arrival, first responders discovered Shaquan's body in a breezeway at the back of the complex. Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots followed by the sound of a vehicle speeding away from the scene.
The police identified Shaquan as the victim and launched an investigation into his death.
The investigation into Shaquan's murder has been ongoing, with detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division actively seeking information about the suspect and the vehicle involved. Despite efforts to gather details, the case remains unsolved, and no arrests have been made. The police have urged anyone with information to come forward to assist in solving the case.
Shaquan's death has left a significant impact on his family and the community. He was remembered as a loving father, son, and friend who had a passion for basketball and a deep love for his family. His untimely death has been a source of grief and sorrow for those who knew him.
In addition to the murder investigation, Shaquan had a prior criminal case in Volusia County.
