On Saturday afternoon, June 6, 2020, 18-year-old Marquis Harrod Jr, a resident of Southeast Washington, D.C., was shot multiple times on the 1300 block of Brentwood Road NE in the Brentwood neighborhood and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police and emergency medical personnel responded around 4:50 p.m.

Homicide detectives identified a suspect and on June 17, 2020 the Capital Area Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested 24-year-old Micah Bidgell of Northeast D.C. He was charged with second-degree murder while armed. Prosecutors later offered a plea to voluntary manslaughter while armed that Bidgell declined; the case proceeded to trial. Surveillance footage presented at trial was described as showing Harrod approaching Bidgell’s car after leaving a liquor store, followed by Bidgell firing multiple shots and driving away. The defense claimed Harrod approached the vehicle armed and the shooting was self-defense. The verdict and its aftermath left Harrod’s family visibly disappointed in the courtroom.

If anyone knew Marquis, his movements that afternoon, or saw footage from the area, please share what can help the case.
