Marlon Roberts, a 49-year-old Black man from Montgomery, Alabama, was shot the night of October 14, 2020, in the 4700 block of Park Towne Way. Police were called at about 9:45 p.m.; officers found Roberts with a life-threatening gunshot wound and he was taken to a local hospital where he later died. His obituary gives his full name as Marlon Esco Roberts and confirms the October 14, 2020 date of death, with funeral services held in Montgomery.

Authorities later identified Gregory Williams, then 24, as the suspect and public reports described him as charged in the case, turning the shooting into a homicide investigation. Reporting is thin on later courtroom developments, but the sequence of events is clear: Roberts was found critically wounded on Park Towne Way, died at the hospital, and a man was reported arrested and charged in connection with the killing.

If anyone knew Marlon, was in that neighborhood that night, or has information about what happened on Park Towne Way, please share what is known.
