On the morning of Friday, October 17, 2014, 27-year-old Marquise D. Smith was fatally shot in Milwaukee around 2 a.m. He was a passenger in a car on the 2600 block of W. Fond du Lac Ave when an exchange of gunfire erupted with occupants of another vehicle. Smith was struck by multiple bullets and, despite being rushed to a local hospital by people in his vehicle, died of his wounds.

Another passenger, a 26-year-old man, was wounded in the same shooting, treated at the hospital, then taken into custody on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Police announced they were searching for suspects in the other vehicle believed responsible for the shooting. No public identification or arrest of those suspects has been reported in the years since, and the case remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Marquise, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the other vehicle or its occupants, please come forward.
