Marquel Walker, 24, was shot and killed in Dayton, Ohio, in the early hours of Labor Day, September 4, 2017. The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. on Cambridge Avenue, where a large crowd had gathered. Walker was taken to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office and an autopsy was performed.

Following the incident, Javon Napier was arrested and booked into the Montgomery County Jail on charges of assault and disorderly conduct. Police said they were investigating whether the shooting reports were connected to Napier’s arrest but did not provide immediate details linking Napier directly to Walker’s death. The investigation remained ongoing.

Walker’s family and community remembered him as a young man with a beautiful heart and a ready smile who helped anyone he could. Is anyone with information about the shooting on Cambridge Avenue that night able to help investigators?
