Who is Shayquan Bullocks? Watertown Stabbing Suspect

Shayquan Jaheim Bullocks, 18-years-old has been arrested for stabbing two people with a machete outside Little Caesars in Watertown, NY.

Two people were rushed to the hospital after a man allegedly stabbed them at a Watertown pizza restaurant on Tuesday afternoon.

According to police, a man, 30, and woman, 31, were sitting in a vehicle at the Little Caesars drive-thru when a man, later identified as Shayquan Jaheim Bullocks, 18, of Watertown, walked up to them.

An argument apparently began, and when the man and woman got out of their pickup truck, Bullocks stabbed them both with a “larger cutting instrument” confirmed to be a machete.

Police say the weapon was recovered and Bullocks was taken in for questioning.

The injured man and woman were loaded into ambulances with varying degrees of injuries.

The injured man had received larcerations on his head and face and was airlifted to SUNY Upstate University Hospital.

He is listed in serious but stable condition.

The woman, who had blood on the right side of her face, her arm, and her chest, was rushed to Samaritan Medical Center in Watertown.

Police say she suffered lacerations to her head and hands.

The 18-year-old works at Red Lobster, according to his Facebook profile and went to Watertown High School.

Information available online reveals he competed in football and track during his high school days.

Interestingly, Bullocks and his girlfriend had just welcomed a new child a few days prior to his arrest for stabbing two people in Watertown.

According to police, he had argued with the man and woman earlier in the day at a different location before the altercation outside Little Caesars.

Officials said it’s unclear if the suspect followed the pair to Little Caesars.

“We’re looking into that. We believe that this stems from – they already had another verbal altercation at another site and we’re still looking into that and I don’t know if it was coincidence or if he followed them over here or if he just happened to run into them again and then the verbal altercation continued,” said Detective Lieutenant Jason Badalato of the Watertown Police Department.

“The suspect is down at the station. We’re interviewing him now. It’s an ongoing investigation. We’re still trying to collect evidence whether it’s statements or video footage. We’ve talked to several people in the area.”

Watertown NY

Watertown is a city in, and the county seat of, Jefferson County, New York, United States.

It is approximately 25 miles (40 km) south of the Thousand Islands, along the Black River about 5 miles (8 km) east of where it flows into Lake Ontario.

The city is bordered by the town of Watertown to the south, east, and west, and is served by the Watertown International Airport and the Watertown Daily Times newspaper.

In the middle of Watertown lies the Public Square Historic District, which was built in 1805 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1984.

As of the 2020 United States Census, the city has 24,685 residents, making it the largest city in the North Country.

The area was first surveyed in 1795, and was settled in March 1800 due to the abundant hydropower the Black River provided.

The city was designated as the county seat of Jefferson County when it was split off from Oneida County in 1805. Watertown was incorporated as a village in 1816, and became a city in 1869. By then, it was booming as an industrial center for Upstate New York.

By the early 20th century the city was said to have more millionaires per capita than any other city in the nation.

During the mid 1960s, Chicago attracted many of the younger residents from the area along with their businesses, leading to the demolition of many historic buildings and a steady decline in population.

By 2000, the city had lost over 7,000 residents.
