In the early morning hours of July 5, 2015, a dispute that began inside a gentlemen’s club on Marietta Street in northwest Atlanta spilled into the street and ended in fatal violence. Mark Turner, a 37-year-old African American man, was shot and killed around 3:30 a.m. outside Stilettos Gentlemen’s Club. Responding officers found Turner with a fatal gunshot wound from what was described as an assault rifle; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man, Brandon Brewer, suffered a severe head injury and was critically hurt in the same shooting.

Investigators identified a suspect after reviewing surveillance footage. A few days later 39-year-old Marquise Holliman turned himself in to the Atlanta police homicide office; he was arrested and charged with Turner’s murder and the aggravated assault of Brewer and booked into the Fulton County Jail. Friends and family held a funeral service for Turner on Saturday, July 11, 2015, and he was interred at Lincoln Cemetery.

If anyone knew Mark Turner or has information about the events that morning, please come forward.
