Marquise Carter, 26, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head inside a home on the 1500 block of Union Avenue in Fairfield on October 14, 2014. The discovery came about 1:25 a.m. after a reported shooting, and the Fairfield Police Department treated the death as a homicide.

Investigators identified 27-year-old Lamar Adams, an associate of Carter who had been living at the residence and who had allowed Carter access, as a suspect. On October 17, 2014, Adams was arrested in Fairfield and booked at Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder, a weapons enhancement, and a probation violation after police served a search warrant at an Oakland residence linked to him and recovered a semiautomatic handgun.

The motive for the shooting was not reported. Anyone with information about this case or who knew Marquise Carter is asked to contact the Fairfield Police Department.
