Marquail Hayes, a 25-year-old father of three, was shot and killed on October 18, 2014, at the playground of Riverview STEM Academy in Rancho Cordova, California. Hayes was with a friend when three men confronted them; an argument escalated and Hayes was shot. He was taken to the hospital but died of his injuries. Multiple callers reported gunshots and witnesses described men shouting and screaming before the shooting.
Two suspects were identified and arrested soon after the attack: Kavon William Cry, 18, and Omar Lee Talley, 19, who were charged with murder. Authorities said the suspects and Hayes did not know each other and that a third suspect fled and remained at large. A candlelight vigil at the school playground drew friends, family and community members who remembered Hayes as caring and always smiling. Detectives asked anyone with information to come forward.
If anyone knew Marquail Hayes or witnessed the events that night, can you share information that might help the investigation?
