Late on the night of September 2, 2015, gunfire rang out outside the Fitzsimons Apartments at 1568 Nome Street in Aurora, Colorado. Fourteen-year-old Marcell Jay Johnson, a Black male who had just started high school, was found with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. A 17-year-old boy was also shot in the arm and survived.

The next morning police took 18-year-old James Jason Tobias Lee into custody in connection with the shooting. He was charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and second-degree assault; neighbors and a gang rescue advocate speculated the attack may have been gang-related, though it was unclear whether Marcell was the intended target or was mistaken for someone else. More than 200 friends and family gathered for a vigil after the killing.

On July 29, 2016, Lee was convicted of reckless manslaughter, two counts of attempted reckless manslaughter and third-degree assault and was sentenced to ten years in prison. Does anyone who knew Marcell or was in that neighborhood that night have information to share?
