Marcus Washington, 27, was shot and killed in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, on January 4, 2017. Police found him in the driver’s seat of a vehicle in the 1800 block of West 29th Avenue at about 2 a.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A female passenger suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to her leg.

Investigators recovered multiple shell casings and observed bullet holes in two vehicles and a nearby residence. Witnesses said two vehicles — a white passenger car and a dark SUV — left west on 29th Avenue with their headlights off immediately after the shooting. Police later arrested 17-year-old Johnnie Donson and charged him with capital murder; surveillance from a gas station showed Donson driving a white Impala. A Jefferson County Circuit Court decision denied transfer of the case to the juvenile division, a ruling that was later appealed.

If anyone has information about the shooting, the vehicles seen leaving the scene, or other details that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
