Marqueis Deshawn Rutherford, a 29-year-old African American man, was fatally shot on March 1, 2018, at a motel in Houston’s Third Ward. He was in a room with two women when someone knocked at the door; when Rutherford opened it an unknown suspect shot him. The two women were wounded but survived and were taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Investigators later arrested 28-year-old Cortney Antrell Byrd; he was charged with capital murder and taken into custody on April 4, 2018. Police said the shooting occurred during a drive-by; the motive was not immediately released. The Houston Police Department Homicide Division handled the case in the 184th State District Court.

Did anyone in the Third Ward see activity around that motel on March 1, 2018, or have information about who knocked on the door that night?
