Marco Orr, 35, was shot and killed in Cahokia Heights, Illinois, on July 27, 2024.

Orr was sentenced in 2021 to 63 months in federal prison for firing a gun into the air at a child’s birthday party in East St. Louis and had a prior felony aggravated-battery conviction that prohibited gun ownership. That 2021 conviction is mentioned without confirmation that it refers to the same Marco Orr who was killed in July 2024.

Cahokia Heights had experienced multiple fatal shootings around this period, and the community’s pattern of gun violence is noted in the case details. Does anyone have verifiable information about Marco Orr’s activities, whereabouts, or contacts in the days before July 27, 2024?
