Marquise Raheem Norfleet Anderson, a 27-year-old man from Wilson, North Carolina, was shot and killed during an altercation in the early hours of August 26, 2018. Deputies from the Nash County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shots-fired call at a residence on London Church Road and found Anderson with a gunshot wound; he was taken to UNC-Nash and later died of his injuries.

Detectives identified Darrius Nike Taylor, also of Wilson, as the primary suspect and charged him with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. Taylor was arrested on September 13, 2018, in Atlanta, Georgia, by the U.S. Marshals and held in the Paulding County Detention Center pending extradition to North Carolina. The investigation is ongoing and detectives continue to follow leads and conduct interviews.
