Marcus Jackson-Burton was 32 when he was fatally shot on August 3, 2020, at the Pleasant Grove Plaza in southern Lansing, Michigan. He had recently returned from Texas to visit family and had just dropped off his children after a summer vacation. Marcus and his half-brother, Steven Lee Jackson, were both killed in the same shooting.

Surveillance footage from the restaurant at the scene reportedly shows a man later identified as Zacharey Leigh Diederichs walking up to the two brothers and opening fire without attempting to conceal his identity. Authorities charged Diederichs with multiple counts, including two counts of second-degree murder and assault with intent to murder; reports say a motive remained unclear, with some speculation that the killings may have been contracted.

Marcus was remembered by family as a dedicated father who had moved to Texas to work long hours at a General Motors plant to provide for his children. Does anyone have information about Marcus, his time in Lansing or Texas, or the events at Pleasant Grove Plaza that evening?
