In the early hours of July 13, 2023, 31-year-old Stacey Marshall, a Black man, was shot and later died at a hospital; his death was ruled a homicide. Police initially responded to reports of gunfire in the 900 block of Whitney Avenue around 12:36 a.m., but detectives later determined the shooting actually took place inside a residence in the 300 block of Michigan Street.

Arrests followed: on July 14, 2023, 33-year-old Courtney Wrenn was charged with murder, first-degree burglary, first-degree wanton endangerment, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. On August 23, 2023, 26-year-old Justin Brown was arrested and charged with murder, first-degree burglary, and first-degree wanton endangerment. A Lexington police detective testified that Wrenn and three unidentified people forced entry to the Michigan Street home and opened fire; surveillance footage from multiple angles reportedly captured the incident, and Brown was described as present but not apparently armed.

If anyone knew Stacey, saw activity at the Michigan Street residence that night, or has surveillance footage, please share information with investigators.
