Demarco Banks Jr., known to family as Marco, was a 15-year-old Black youth killed by gunfire on the night of March 14, 2024, at the Gonzalez Court apartment complex on North 9th Avenue in Pensacola, Florida. He had been visiting his girlfriend and stepped outside with a friend, Tristan McClain, when two figures in dark clothing and ski masks approached. A male figure, identified in reports as 14-year-old Remington Crumbs, asked for their names, confronted them again, questioned Demarco about a prior altercation, and fired a single shot that struck him. First responders performed life-saving measures but Demarco died after being rushed to a local hospital.

Pensacola Police quickly arrested Crumbs that same night; he was initially booked at the Department of Juvenile Justice on a murder charge. Police also arrested 19-year-old Rumariya Union, who was charged with accessory after the fact. Marco’s family — his sister Jedidah Banks, his mother Stephanie Bonner Banks, and his father Marco Banks Sr. — have spoken publicly about their loss and called for an end to the violence that took his life.

Does anyone have information about that night at Gonzalez Court or about Demarco’s movements beforehand?
