Marrione Parks, 19, was found fatally shot on the front steps of his Cartmell Street home in Jackson, Tennessee on the evening of March 30, 2026. The killing occurred in a residential neighborhood and left family and friends confronting a sudden loss.

Jackson Police Department’s Major Crimes Division investigated, using witness cooperation and area video surveillance to reconstruct events. Investigators focused on a single suspect and on April 28, 2026, arrested 18-year-old Cordayvious Ballard. Ballard gave a statement to police and was charged with first-degree murder; he was arraigned in Jackson City Court the Monday after his arrest.

What information about Marrione’s last hours or the neighborhood that night might help the investigation?
