Marque Whaley, 23, of Columbus, Ohio, was fatally shot in the head on January 9, 2015, in Springfield, Ohio. The shooting happened just after 2 a.m. as a group of friends was leaving the Fun Bar on East Main Street. Davon L. Watters, 26, of Springfield, opened fire with an assault rifle; Whaley was discovered hit during the pursuit that followed and died later that day at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

Watters fled after the shooting but was later arrested. Investigators recovered the murder weapon inside his car. He was charged with multiple felonies including murder, felony murder, three counts of felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and discharging a firearm from a prohibited premises; a jury found him guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 45 years. Friends and family described Whaley’s death as senseless and deeply felt.

Did anyone who knew Marque or who was at the Fun Bar that night ever come forward with information that helped the investigation?
