Authorities said that on Jan. 20, 2013 -- outside the now closed Cancun Bar and Grill nightclub -- 22-year-old Kevon Decatur, of Moreno Valley, was fatally shot following a confrontation with three men.
Decatur was taken to the ER at Loma Linda University Medical Center where he was declared dead.
The victim had performed earlier that evening at the Cancun.
Investigators learned that Decatur was confronted by three subjects outside of the club shortly after the club closed for the night. The three men and Decatur became involved in a verbal altercation.
Last month, detectives released surveillance video of the three suspects taken outside the Cancun club. The video showed the men and a white vehicle with large chrome rims. Detectives said the public gave them leads that led to the six arrests.
Anyone with additional information about the murder is asked to contact Detective Dominick Povero at (909) 798-7580 or Redlands Police Dispatch at (909) 798-7681.
