On the night of Sunday, June 4, 2017, gunfire erupted as patrons were leaving the Kick Back Lounge on State Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Three people were shot; Chauncy Marshall, a 31-year-old Black man from Springfield, was grievously wounded and taken to Baystate Medical Center. He died there on Thursday, June 8, 2017, after fighting for his life for four days. Another victim, 27-year-old Warren Payne, was also critically injured and died shortly after the shooting; a third victim suffered less severe wounds.

The shooting was investigated by the Springfield Police Major Crimes Unit alongside the Hampden District Attorney’s Office. Months passed without a resolution until September 14, 2017, when a Massachusetts State Police trooper stopped a speeding vehicle and discovered the driver, 26-year-old Demetrius Moore of Springfield, was wanted on a murder warrant tied to the Kick Back Lounge incident. Moore was arrested, arraigned in Springfield District Court, and held without bail.

Did anyone in the Springfield area know Marshall or have information about that night at the Kick Back Lounge?
