On the night of Friday, April 10, 2020, officers in Benton Harbor responded to reports of multiple gunshots in the southeast part of the city. Near Cross Street and Bishop Avenue they found 19-year-old Marcas Dontae Purnell Jr. suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to Spectrum-Lakeland Hospital but died of his injuries.

The Benton Harbor Department of Public Safety later asked the public for help and set up a tipline, seeking witnesses or anyone with information that could identify who was responsible. There have been no public announcements about arrests or suspects in the case.

Who knew Marcas or was in that area that night and can help bring answers to his family?
