Marc-Anthony Thompson was 25 and a student at Chico State University when he was killed on September 3, 2014. He was majoring in sociology and psychology with minors in women’s studies and multicultural and gender studies, and is remembered by family and community for his leadership, vibrant personality, and commitment to social justice.

Marc’s body was found in his burned-out car in a remote area about 28 miles northeast of Oroville. The death was ruled a homicide; the Butte County Sheriff’s Department has investigated the case and has analyzed his cell phone records as part of the effort, but no arrests have been announced and the identity of his killer or killers remains unknown.

His parents, LaWanda Thompson-Taylor and Lawrence Thompson Sr., have publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the investigation. The family and community have held memorials to honor Marc and keep attention on the unsolved case. If anyone has information about Marc’s movements or contacts around September 3, 2014, please come forward.
