On the evening of August 7, 2020, 26-year-old Marquise Davis was found shot inside an apartment at 300 Grand Street in Hoboken. The Hoboken Police Department responded after a report of a deceased male, discovered Davis with gunshot wounds to his upper body, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Regional Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide, listing gunshot wounds to the abdomen as the cause.

McDougald surrendered to authorities on August 20, 2020, and was arrested on murder and weapons charges. In September 2022 he pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter and in December 2022 was sentenced to 14 years in New Jersey State Prison under the No Early Release Act, requiring service of 85 percent of the term before parole eligibility.
