Marquis Marshall, a 27-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed in Maywood, Illinois, on July 4, 2016. Local law enforcement opened a homicide investigation, conducted interviews and collected evidence to identify suspects and motives.

Several people were questioned and some arrests were made in connection with the killing; charges brought in later proceedings included unlawful possession of firearms and related offenses. Prosecutors encountered challenges securing convictions because of conflicting witness statements and insufficient concrete evidence.

Marshall’s family pursued civil litigation against individuals and entities they held responsible and have remained active in advocacy and community outreach in his memory. The homicide is still unresolved.
