In the early hours of July 10, 2018, gunshots in the parking lot of the Magnolia North apartments in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, ended the life of 42-year-old Mark Verhasselt. Police found Verhasselt, originally from Fayetteville, North Carolina, fatally shot at the scene. At the time of his death he had been living in the Myrtle Beach area on and off for several years and was a person of interest in a missing person case out of Fayetteville.

Horry County Police identified a suspect within hours and took Marquis Shawn Brown, 32, of Fayetteville, into custody days later. Another Fayetteville man, Matthew Isaiah Rivera, was implicated in the case. If anyone knew Mark, his movements in Myrtle Beach or Fayetteville, or saw anything the night of July 10, please come forward with information.
