On the evening of August 3, 2019, Francesca ’Frankie’ Alyce Marks, a 30-year-old Black woman and mother of seven, was killed at Rouge Park in Detroit. Witnesses say a dispute after a basketball game turned physical, one man left and then returned, and opened fire in the crowded park. Marks was an innocent bystander who was struck while shielding her children.

The Detroit Police Department described the suspected shooter as a Black male in his 20s, about 160 pounds, dark complexion, with shoulder-length braids, last seen fleeing the park. The investigation remains open and no arrests have been publicly announced.

If anyone was at Rouge Park that evening or has information about the shooting or the man seen fleeing, please share what is known with Detroit police.
