Marcus Davis Leath, 39, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, was fatally shot inside his Las Palmas Way home on August 21, 2021. Known as Marc or Shark, he worked as a DJ and promoter and was active in community events and peaceful marches. His girlfriend escaped and ran for help, but Marcus was struck twice and died at the scene. Investigators reported four rounds were fired inside the home, with two believed aimed at the girlfriend as she fled.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office said cell phone data, social media, and video surveillance identified a vehicle of interest and led to arrests. Three men — Tamarius Bembry, 20; Tramaine Hickman, 24; and Carlos Wilson, 21 — were charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and burglary of a dwelling with assault and battery while armed. The firearm used in Marcus’s killing was linked to an earlier unrelated burglary attributed to the same suspects. Marcus’s mother, Lois Leath, described the family’s continuing grief amid the arrests.
