Marquan Trevail White, 25, of Youngstown, Ohio, was fatally shot on July 5, 2022, in the parking lot of Vibez Restaurant and Event Center at about 3:30 a.m. He was one of four people struck during what witnesses described as a shootout in the lot after the bar had closed. Approximately 50 to 100 people were reported to be present that night; two other victims, ages 18 and 19, were listed in stable condition and a 26-year-old man was in critical condition.

The Mahoning County Coroner’s Office confirmed Marquan’s identity. Youngstown police opened an investigation to identify the suspects and gathered evidence and witness statements. The location had been noted as a problem area for loitering and prior incidents, and the shooting increased local concern about safety and security.

Marquan is remembered by family and friends as a loving and protective father, a loyal brother, and a true friend. Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Marquan have information that could help the investigation?
