Jermaine R. Stroman, a 30-year-old male, was found shot to death in the third-floor hallway of a Rodeway Inn on North Arthur Ashe Boulevard in Richmond, Virginia, in the early morning hours of June 2, 2020. Responding officers discovered Stroman, who had been shot, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
For months, the case remained without a publicly identified suspect. In January 2021, the Richmond Police Department announced a significant development in the investigation.
Marquise McCormick, who was incarcerated in Chesterfield County on unrelated matters at the time, was charged with the murder of Jermaine R. Stroman. The charges against McCormick included first-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
Following the announcement of McCormick's arrest and the charges against him, further details about the legal proceedings, including a trial, conviction, or sentencing, have not been made widely available in public sources. Information regarding a potential motive for the shooting or the events leading up to the fatal encounter in the hotel hallway has also not been released. The case against Marquise McCormick for the death of Jermaine R. Stroman moved to the judicial system, but the final outcome remains largely unreported in the available online information.
