Marcus Blanks, 25, was killed after a dispute that began with a fistfight at a gas station and moved to the Quail Run Apartments in Quitman, Mississippi. According to reports, Blanks arrived at the complex on the evening of February 18, 2016. A short time later 24-year-old Michael Sumrall appeared carrying a gun and allegedly shot Blanks three times in the abdomen, arm, and head in the parking lot.

Emergency services transported Blanks to H.C. Watkins Hospital, where he died around 10 p.m. that night. The investigation produced two arrests: Michael Sumrall was taken into custody and charged with murder, and 19-year-old Carey Horn was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit a crime for allegedly driving the vehicle that brought Sumrall to the scene.

Are there readers who knew Marcus or who have information about the sequence of events that night?
