Marcus Malik Washington was 20 when he was killed in a February 11, 2016 shooting on Jacksonville’s Westside. Employed at Azar Sausage and raised in the Sweetwater Community, Marcus was described by family and friends as affectionate and caring; his death left a deep void for those who knew him.

The shooting occurred at a residence on Goldilocks Lane during a drug-related dispute. Marcus and 27-year-old Watson Dorcent were both shot; Marcus was struck multiple times while attempting to flee, and Dorcent survived and later gave investigators information. Authorities say the argument escalated after Jacob Omar Hill returned to the home with another man identified as Quintrell Tyrone Stinson.

On March 2, 2016 Hill was arrested on a probation-violation and was later charged with murder, attempted murder and possession of a weapon by a felon in connection with this case. Investigators continued seeking witnesses and the whereabouts of Quintrell Tyrone Stinson.

If anyone knew Marcus, was at the residence that night, or has information about Stinson’s whereabouts, please come forward.
