Marquita Antionette Akin was 18 when she was killed in Buffalo, New York, on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2007. Reports describe her death as a homicide; no further details about how she was killed have been made public.

Her family publicly mourned and prepared for her funeral in the days afterward, and her mother vowed in an online tribute not to rest until she knew who was responsible.

What information about Marquita’s last hours or anyone who might have been with her that day could help move this case forward?
