Marcus Thomas was 20 when he was fatally shot on April 25, 2009, in Baton Rouge. Investigators described the attack as an ambush: multiple firearms were fired at his car while he was driving, and no immediate arrests followed, leaving the killing unexplained for the family and community.

The case later became linked to a wider string of 2009–2010 homicides. During a later investigation, a 17-year-old, Michael Louding (known as Marlo Mike), confessed to taking part in several ambush-style shootings and admitted he was one of the people who opened fire on Thomas’s vehicle. Louding implicated rapper Torrence Hatch (known as Lil Boosie), alleging Hatch had hired him to kill Thomas in retaliation for an earlier robbery of Hatch by Thomas. Louding was charged in connection with multiple murders; his involvement in the Thomas killing was presented at later court proceedings as part of a pattern of ambush-style attacks.

Does anyone have further information about Marcus Thomas, where he lived, or who might have witnessed the shooting?
