Marques Sudler, 24, of Reading, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot during a botched robbery and drug deal on the night of March 10, 2022 and was found dead at the scene on March 11, 2022. He suffered at least one gunshot wound to the torso in the incident on the 600 block of Miltimore Street in northwest Reading.

The three men named in connection with the crime are Jonathan Rodriguez, 21; Emanuel Soto, 19; and Darrien Kreitz, 25. Rodriguez and Soto were later found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder; Rodriguez received mandatory life sentences for each victim and Soto was sentenced to 35 years to life for each victim. Kreitz cooperated with prosecutors and received nine to 18 years.

The investigation was conducted by Reading police alongside FBI agents and detectives from the district attorney’s office. Sudler’s family and friends continue to mourn his loss. If anyone has information about the events that night or knew Marques, please share what you know.
