Darion Marquez Williams, a 26-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed in the early morning hours of February 8, 2021, outside the Chino Chido bar in El Paso’s Cincinnati Entertainment District. A fight had started inside the bar and those involved were removed by bouncers; as patrons left at closing time a separate altercation on the street escalated and Williams was shot. He was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead.

The El Paso Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons unit investigated, asking the public for video or information. The investigation led to the arrest of 23-year-old Marcus Lamar Hill, a sergeant at Fort Bliss, who was charged with Williams’ murder and held on $750,000 bond. A second Fort Bliss sergeant, 29-year-old Brandon King, was arrested on a weapons charge and later released on personal recognizance.

Anyone who witnessed the fight or has video footage from that night is asked to come forward with information that could help investigators and the family.
