Mark Strauss Jr., known by his stage name Buddha, was fatally shot on March 20, 2022, in Merced, California. The 30-year-old father had been at the Shop N Go convenience store to record a video when an exchange of gunfire erupted; bullets struck cars, a house, and parts of the store while bystanders sought cover. The Merced County Sheriff’s Office located Strauss Jr. fatally wounded at the scene.

Investigators identified 37-year-old Marcus Osby as a suspect. Osby — who had a prior arrest in a 2007 murder case that was later dropped — was taken into custody at a hospital where he was being treated for gunshot injuries sustained during the incident. Neighbors said the shooting left the community shaken and prompted some residents to install surveillance cameras. The Sheriff’s Office collected evidence and reviewed surveillance footage while urging witnesses to come forward.

If anyone was at or near the Shop N Go on March 20, 2022, or has surveillance footage from the area, can you share what you saw or recorded?
