Marcus Watts was 18 when he was shot dead in the early morning hours of October 24, 2009, in Omaha, Nebraska. Police found him just after 3 a.m. next to a car near North 28th Street and Kansas Avenue; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Marcus was an African-American father of three children — daughters Jon’nesha and Marsiah and son Markius — and was survived by his mother Shanetra, his father Joe Hillard, and three sisters. The shooting left his family and community searching for answers.

The case has gone cold. No suspects have ever been publicly identified in connection with Marcus’s murder, and investigators have continued to appeal for information that might lead to a breakthrough.

If anyone remembers details from that night or has information about the killing of Marcus Watts, please come forward to help his family find answers.
