Anthony Marshall, a 52-year-old African American man, was found dead in his Fort Worth residence on August 27, 2017. The initial autopsy recorded multiple gunshot wounds and the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, prompting a full-scale investigation by the Fort Worth Police Department.

Investigators identified several suspects and made multiple arrests. A 22-year-old male, Koby Don Burkhart, was charged with murder after an arrest following execution of a search warrant at his residence, where police recovered a firearm alleged to be the weapon used. Prosecutors said a confrontation between Burkhart and Marshall on the evening of August 27 escalated and resulted in Marshall being shot multiple times; the defense contended Burkhart acted in self-defense and claimed Marshall had threatened him with a weapon, though no weapon was reported found at the scene.

The family also filed a civil wrongful death suit alleging reckless, intentional conduct caused Marshall’s death. Questions were raised about the handling of the investigation, including alleged delays and possible evidence issues, prompting calls for internal review. Does anyone have information about Anthony Marshall, his final hours, or the investigation that could help clarify what happened?
