Marcus Alexander Galtney Sr. was 25 and living in Marrero, Louisiana, though originally from Oakland, California. Described by family as vibrant and playful, he was a graduate of L.W. Higgins High School and is survived by a young son.

On Sunday, August 14, 2016, at about 2:21 a.m., police were called to a report of a man down near the West Bank Expressway and Robinson Avenue. Officers found Galtney suffering from gunshot wounds; his death was ruled a homicide and investigators opened a criminal inquiry.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified. A reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest. Can anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Marcus share information that might help bring his family some answers?
