Marquise Howard Buxton, known as Chop, was 27 when he was found shot inside a vehicle in the Taco Bell parking lot on Market Street in Youngstown on October 31, 2020. The shooting occurred around 6 p.m., and an autopsy by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed he died from a gunshot wound. His death was recorded as Youngstown’s 25th homicide of 2020.

Detectives named 27-year-old Charles Lightning as a person of interest. Lightning was located at St. Elizabeth Health Center shortly after the shooting claiming to have been shot elsewhere; police say they found no evidence to support that claim and later charged him with obstruction of justice. Lightning’s blood was also reported at the scene. No arrests have been announced in connection with Buxton’s killing and the investigation remains open.
