A violent confrontation in Memphis on June 17, 2016, left 26-year-old Marvelous Johnson dead and two other men wounded. Police first responded to the 500 block of Boston Street, near the Mid-South Fairgrounds, where one man was found wounded but in non-critical condition. Officers then located Johnson around the corner on the 500 block of Buntyn Street with a gunshot wound to the head; he died en route to the hospital.

Homicide detectives described the shooting as stemming from a clash between rival gangs. Witness statements in an arrest affidavit say members of the Vice Lords fired at a passing car they believed carried Gangster Disciples; Johnson was a passenger in that vehicle. Investigators identified a suspect known as Lil Citi, later named as Markease Alexander, age 23 at the time. A witness said they saw Alexander firing at the car, and he gave a written statement after his arrest. Alexander was charged with second-degree murder in Johnson’s death and with aggravated assault for the two wounded men.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the people involved, or Johnson’s movements that evening, please share what is known.
