Marvin Lancaster III, 21, was shot and killed on February 6, 2016, at Club Rayne on North Nebraska Avenue in Tampa. The shooting also wounded another man, Christopher Houston. Authorities say Lancaster was streaming live on the Periscope app during the incident, making this among the earliest documented cases of a victim broadcasting their own murder on social media.

Tampa Police continue to ask the public for information. The live-streamed footage and other evidence have prompted repeated appeals for witnesses, and Lancaster’s parents have publicly expressed their grief and called for justice. Anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or has relevant information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.

If anyone saw activity near Club Rayne that night or has details about the livestream or those involved, please come forward and share what is known.
