Marissa Harris, 32, was visiting family and friends in Dania Beach on November 4, 2020, and stopped at Rookies Ale House on Griffin Road in the early morning. Around 2:50 a.m., an argument between two other patrons escalated: both men produced guns and began shooting. As customers tried to flee, Marissa was struck in the back while trying to run for cover and was pronounced dead at the scene by Fire Rescue.

Surveillance footage and the Broward Sheriff’s Office investigation identified both shooters, who had been wounded and left the bar. One, Jose Oscar Soltren-Echevarria, was arrested about a week later after seeking treatment for a gunshot wound and was charged with manslaughter and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Forensics later determined the fatal bullet came from his gun; he pleaded no contest and was scheduled for sentencing on June 16, 2022. After review by the State Attorney’s Office, the other man, Kenneth Calvin McDonald, was charged in connection with Marissa’s death and faced a second-degree felony murder charge as of June 2022.

Marissa was a mother to a 12-year-old daughter, Rayya Marie Gonzalez, had recently relocated to Ocala for work and school, and had returned home to Dania Beach that night. Does anyone have information about Marissa or her time in Dania Beach on November 4, 2020?
