On the morning of February 13, 2015, 24-year-old Marquez Douglas was fatally shot in his east side Detroit home. The shooting occurred around 6:20 a.m. in a back room of the house; Douglas suffered gunshot wounds to his chest and stomach and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. His sister, Latoya Johnson, was also shot and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police focused on a female suspect about the same age as Douglas, identified as Yasmeen Jasmilla Taylor. Taylor was arrested in Huntington, West Virginia, and charged with second-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. At trial Johnson testified that Douglas returned home with Taylor around 5:50 a.m., that voices were heard, then a single shot followed by about five more, and that Johnson was then confronted and shot despite pleading.

A jury convicted Taylor on all counts. She was sentenced on the murder conviction to lengthy prison terms, later resentenced on September 30, 2020; subsequent appeals have upheld the conviction. Does anyone have additional information about Marquez Douglas or the events that morning?
