Markel Morrison, a 22-year-old man from Cincinnati, died on May 27, 2016, in Athens, Ohio, after being found seriously wounded at the River Park on South Green apartments and later succumbing to his injuries. Authorities described the incident as occurring during an attempted burglary and a drug-related crime. The shooter has not been publicly identified.

John Michael Fults-Ganey, a 21-year-old Ohio University student from Athens, was charged with felony murder and complicity to aggravated burglary in connection with Morrison’s death; prosecutors say Fults-Ganey accompanied Morrison to the apartment complex with intent to commit a crime but is not accused of firing the shot. The case was handled by the Athens Major Crimes Unit, Fults-Ganey was held in lieu of a $1 million bond at the Southeast Ohio Regional Jail, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for June 6, 2016. Athens Police Chief Tom Pyle called it a complex incident and released limited details.

Morrison had a prior drug-related conviction from a 2013 Butler County arrest; he pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated trafficking in drugs and received five years of community control. Few public details explain who fired the fatal shot or the full sequence of events that night. If anyone knew Morrison, Fults-Ganey, or saw activity at the River Park on May 27, 2016, please share what you know.
