Marion Copeland, a 38-year-old Black man, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in an alley near East Hudson Street in Columbus, Ohio, on September 23, 2022. He was taken to Grant Medical Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; the incident was classified as a homicide.

Investigators say Copeland was confronted by a group of males while standing in the alley. Surveillance video reportedly shows Devon Robinson drawing a handgun and shooting Copeland. Robinson later turned himself in and, during an interview with the Columbus Police Department, admitted involvement. Three other men named in charges are Rayshawn Rogers, Christian Capers, and Damon Capers. Authorities allege the attack was revenge for the accidental overdose death of Lithasha Streeter, who reportedly ingested tainted fentanyl allegedly sold by Copeland.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the people or vehicles that fled the scene, please share what is known with investigators.
