Marvin T. Murphy, a 39-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on December 25, 2017, in Decatur, Illinois. Police responded to reports of shots fired at 1600 N. 32nd Street and found Murphy with gunshot wounds; he was taken to Decatur Memorial Hospital and later died of his injuries.

The investigation identified a primary suspect, Floyd Banks of Decatur, who was arrested and charged in connection with Murphy’s death. Banks pleaded not guilty when he appeared in Macon County Circuit Court. The case has drawn close attention in Decatur as the community seeks answers and accountability.

Does anyone have information about Marvin, the scene at 1600 N. 32nd Street that night, or witnesses who haven’t yet come forward?
