Marvin Harris was 32 when he was shot and killed on June 11, 2016, at the corner of East 175th Street and Monroe Avenue in the Bronx. Harris was struck 13 times; the killing was said to have followed an insult he made toward James Felton over status within a local drug territory connected to 240 East 175th Street.

Police identified and arrested 50-year-old James Felton of the Bronx. Prosecutors presented video footage of the murder at trial. The case against Felton tied this slaying to a broader pattern of violence: six months later he was accused of murdering Jose Morales a block away and of shooting and wounding rival dealer Edwin Romero as part of efforts to maintain control of the drug trade.

After a one-week trial a jury convicted Felton on twelve counts, including the murders of Marvin Harris and Jose Morales and related drug and firearms charges; he was later sentenced to life plus 75 years. Did anyone in the neighborhood remember Marvin Harris or notice suspicious activity around 240 East 175th Street?
