Marcus Course was 44, a Black man from Jackson, Mississippi, and a father of three whose life ended on January 11, 2023. He was shot and mortally wounded in the 3100 block of Charleston Drive on Jackson’s west side, and funeral notices record arrangements through Jackson Memorial Funeral Service on West Woodrow Wilson Avenue. Online memorials describe him as lost to gun violence and show more than a hundred virtual candles left in his memory.

Police later tied the shooting to a suspect. On March 28, 2023, officers arrested 35-year-old Christopher Johnson, known as Nine, and charged him in connection with the January 11 killing; authorities also appealed for anyone with information to contact the department or Crime Stoppers.

If anyone knew Marcus, his routines, or what happened on Charleston Drive that day, can you share information with investigators?
