David Garrett, a 26-year-old African American man, was tragically shot and killed on October 11, 2014, outside the Lavish Ultra Lounge in Cleveland, OH. Garrett, a former football star and father of a young child, was planning to get married soon. His death was mourned by his family and the community, who remembered him as a respectful and loving individual.
The investigation into Garrett's death led to the arrest of Barry Blevins, who was charged with murder, felonious assault,
manslaughter, aggravated assault, having weapons while under disability, and discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises. Barry Blevins was also charged with tampering with evidence. Another suspect, Jean Blevins, remains at large and has also been charged with the same crimes.
The case has seen significant legal proceedings, with Barry Blevins held on a $1 million bond. The family continues to seek justice for David Garrett, hoping for closure and accountability for those responsible for his untimely death.
