Zarious Malikai Fair was 16 when he was fatally shot on June 12, 2019, in the 700 block of East Frye Avenue in Peoria, Illinois. Born May 22, 2003, to DeMarco Fair and Gamiake MaKori, Zarious worked as a dishwasher at Jonas Seafood in East Peoria and enjoyed riding bikes, playing basketball, and collecting Nike Airforce 1 and Michael Jordan gym shoes. Family and friends described him as sweet, kind, and loving.

Marks, then 14, indicated an intent to rob Zarious; Nelson patted him down, and Marks fired four shots, striking Zarious three times. Zarious was taken to OSF St. Francis Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Court rulings reported Zavion Marks guilty of first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a weapon and sentenced to 45 years, with parole possible in 2040. Doyle Nelson, then 18, was found guilty of first-degree murder under the state s felony murder law; his sentencing was scheduled for May 5, 2021. Can anyone with information about Zarious, that block of East Frye Avenue, or the events of June 12, 2019, help fill in details?
