Jaurice A. Blakely, an 18-year-old from Whitehall, Ohio, was shot in the chest and killed at Players Family Billiards around 12:20 a.m. on January 13, 2015. He was pronounced dead at the scene after a fight broke out inside the pool hall.

Police arrested three people in connection with the killing. A 14-year-old boy, Erik L. Thompson Jr., was charged with murder and accused of pulling the trigger. Robert T. Cox II, 27, and Per’Shawda Crawford, 20, were charged with complicity to murder; police say Cox accompanied Thompson to the pool hall and Crawford allegedly drove the getaway vehicle.

Blakely’s survivors include his mother Tanya Nicole Pannell, father Timothy Maurice Blakely, and siblings. The case drew notable attention locally because of the involvement of a juvenile and the community impact of the loss.
