Marcus Simpson Sr., 65, of Jacksonville, Florida, was shot in the chest and killed during a violent altercation with his brother on February 27, 2017. The shooting occurred in the backyard of a home on West 15th Street near Witschen Avenue in Northwest Jacksonville, during a month that saw a spike in homicides in the city.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office identified Marcus’s brother as the primary suspect and charged him with murder. Investigators gathered evidence and witness statements and the case moved through multiple court appearances where both prosecution and defense presented material and testimony.

The family and community were deeply affected by the killing, which raised concerns about familial violence in the neighborhood. Does anyone have information about the incident or recall what happened in that block on February 27, 2017?
