Marshall Kolby Larks, 35, was found dead in a wooded area in the 1100 block of Spanish Town Road in Baton Rouge on the morning of February 17, 2019. Baton Rouge Police responded around 9:09 a.m. and determined Larks had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He was identified the next day as Marshall Larks of 9337 W. Jamaica Drive, a native of Baton Rouge and a member of Little Rising Sun Baptist Church, known to friends and family as Hollywood.

Initially there were no known suspects or motives and police appealed to the public for information. On February 22, 2019, officers arrested a 15-year-old male and booked him into the East Baton Rouge Juvenile Detention Center; he was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Larks’s killing.

If anyone knew Marshall, his movements that week, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the investigation.
