Marlon Duwayne Wright, a 39-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 30, 2020, in Arlington, Texas. Officers responding about 6:30 a.m. to a shooting in the 600 block of Carter Drive found Wright on a sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Wright had met earlier that morning with 34-year-old Tevin Rashad Wright at a convenience store on South Watson Road. Surveillance showed the two talking inside and outside the store; they were seen again on Hollandale Circle after leaving. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing Marlon Wright on the ground with Tevin Wright standing over him holding a handgun before Tevin fled in a red Cadillac SUV.

Tevin Rashad Wright was arrested in August 2020 and later admitted to shooting Marlon, claiming self-defense. A jury convicted him of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon; sentences were imposed. Marlon Wright had moved to Arlington in 2013 with his two sons and is remembered by family as an entrepreneur who loved the outdoors and helping others.
