Marquan Shyiheem Patten, a 23-year-old Black man also identified as Marquan Doyle, was shot dead in the early morning of July 14, 2020, in Augusta, Georgia. He was found inside a vehicle on Service Drive just off Milledge Road and was pronounced dead at about 3:36 a.m. His obituary notes he was from Aiken, South Carolina, a 2015 graduate of South Aiken High School and a member of Montmorenci Baptist Church.

Investigators described a meeting that began as an alleged firearm purchase but, they say, was actually a setup for robbery. Authorities charged Marqwez Warney, then 17, and Lewis Wigfall, then 16, with murder on the day of the killing; Warney also faced charges of criminal attempt and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and Wigfall was being held as an adult in juvenile detention. The next day Christopher McCrary, 21, was also charged with murder. Early reports indicated a gunfight during the encounter and two younger people wounded in addition to Patten.

If anyone knew Marquan, was at the meeting area that night, or has information about what happened, please share what is known.
