CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) — Nearly a year after the murder of 22-year-old Charlottesville resident Jahaanz Wilson in the public parking lot on the 200 block of West Water Street on Jan. 26, 2025, a Charlottesville Grand Jury indicted 20-year-old Tyquan Markie Dean for second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony on Monday.

The indictments came after nearly a year of collaboration between detectives with the Charlottesville Police Department and prosecutors with the Charlottesville Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.

Dean was already in custody at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail for unrelated charges but has since been served with these additional indictments.

“This case reflects the relentless work of professional law enforcement officers and prosecutors standing shoulder to shoulder to ensure accountability and justice for the victim and their loved ones,” Charlottesville Chief of Police Michael Kochis said in a statement. “Our detectives, patrol officers, forensic teams, and prosecutors have remained unwavering in their commitment, and we will continue to pursue the truth wherever it leads.”
