Marquise Harris was a 16-year-old African American male from Chicago who was shot and killed on January 11, 2014. Reports say an altercation that night escalated into a fatal shooting in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates; Marquise was shot multiple times and did not survive.

Law enforcement investigated and ultimately arrested several individuals believed to be involved. Charges reported ranged from first-degree murder to illegal possession of firearms, and the arrests led to criminal proceedings that were closely followed by the community.

The case drew attention from advocacy groups and community leaders who raised broader concerns about how the criminal justice system handles cases involving young African American males. Marquise’s family remained active through the legal process, attending hearings and participating in community actions while seeking justice for their son.
