Marquayvius Lamar McGill, 24, was shot and killed on the night of August 5, 2020, in Columbus, Ohio. Police responded just after 11 p.m. to the 1000 block of Timberwood Drive on a report of a shooting and found McGill and another man, Dominique Freeman, with gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene. A third man suffered a gunshot wound to his foot and was hospitalized.

Court records described the killings as part of an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Tyrone Copeland was indicted on aggravated murder, murder, attempted murder, felonious assault and having a weapon while under disability, accused of shooting McGill and Freeman. Justin Williams was accused of contracting the killing after a prior altercation with McGill and was charged with aggravated murder; a warrant was issued for his arrest. Darian Slaise, who reportedly lured McGill to the scene, pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and kidnapping.

McGill was born June 24, 1996, in Lima, Ohio, graduated from Luther E. Ball High School in Cleveland and left behind a daughter, Harmoni McGill, along with parents, siblings and a girlfriend. Does anyone have information about the night of August 5, 2020, or knew McGill and the people involved?
