Our card this week is J-Qua Atkins, the 10 of clubs from Virginia.

30-year-old J-Qua had a lot going for him in the spring of 2021. He had a good job and a tight

crew of friends that he performed with as a part of a local rap group. But most important to

him, his close-knit family, a devoted mom, little nieces and nephews who called him Uncle

Kwan, and a big brother that he admired. But police believe that that brother is

holding a secret.

I'm Ashley to see. Oh, Detective Mark Godwin, his supervisor, and his three partners were dispatched to the Westwood community in Richmond just before 730 PM on March 21st, 2021.

They'd gotten a call about a man who'd been found dead on his living room couch, a possible suicide.

Here's Detective Godwin from the Richmond Police Department.

When you first came in the door, nothing was in disarray.

There was no signs of a struggle. There was

immediately no firearm we observed at the scene. There was very little blood

because it would be referred to as a blowout, which the gunshot wound comes in and it blows out the back of your skull.

So all of the drainage from the blood would have been behind him, so it would not have been visibly

noticeable unless you moved behind him to be able to see that he had been shot.

The fact that there was no weapon left behind was odd but that didn't automatically rule out suicide. Maybe the roommate

who'd found him had hit it somewhere. I mean Detective Godwin's seen it before.

Even if a witness is innocent it's not totally

uncommon for someone to get rid of a gun or other evidence before police arrive.

Other than the gun though, nothing else seemed to be missing or amiss.

There was some money on the kitchen table.

Jaquan had a wallet with over $200 in his back pocket.
