Marcel Ernst Antoine Samedi, 21, was shot to death at a gang gathering on June 5, 2021. Samedi, who had traveled from Rock Hill, South Carolina, to attend a C Call at the Wilson Apartment Complex in Columbus, Georgia, was found at about 9:47 p.m. with a fatal gunshot wound to the temple in the 3000 block of 8th Avenue.

Investigators from the Columbus Police Department, the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Gang Task Force traced the shooting to three fellow Insane Crips members: Davion Dupas (known as Yungdemon Dee), Jaheim Davis (known as Zhg Jah) and Corey Troupe Jr. (known as Lil Pop). Evidence at trial included testimony that the three opened fire on the apartment building and that Dupas had been trying to sell a firearm matching the ballistics of the fatal bullet.

A jury trial in Muscogee County concluded in February 2024 with convictions: Dupas on felony murder, a street gang terrorism violation and first-degree criminal damage to property; Davis on two street gang terrorism counts, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and first-degree criminal damage to property; and Troupe on one street gang terrorism count. Sentencing was scheduled for April 18, 2024.

If anyone has information about Marcel Samedi, his movements that night, or the incident at the Wilson Apartment Complex, please come forward.
