Marcus Rashad Owens, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot at a pool hall on South Saunders Street in Raleigh, North Carolina, on February 18, 2014. The shooting took place shortly before midnight at Bar and Billiards after a verbal altercation. Owens suffered serious injuries and died from those wounds late on February 21, 2014.

Raleigh police quickly identified two suspects, Dudley Lamar Kee, 29, and James Keith Nelson, 23. Both men were charged with murder in connection with Owens’ death; Kee later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in Wake County Superior Court on July 7, 2015, with sentencing scheduled the following day. The case prompted community concern and Raleigh Crime Stoppers offered cash rewards for tips.

If anyone knew Marcus, was at Bar and Billiards that night, or has information that hasn’t been shared with investigators, please come forward.
