Marcus Christopher, 50, was found dead in a ditch off Wesley Road in Columbia, Mississippi on February 18, 2017. The Marion County Sheriff’s Department concluded his death was a homicide after investigating the discovery of his body.

Investigators focused on 37-year-old John Mark Davis of Columbia. Davis was arrested and charged in connection with Christopher’s death; authorities also charged him with possession of a firearm by a felon and the theft of a motor vehicle. A second person, 27-year-old Doris Albea Bonilla, was arrested and charged with hindering prosecution after giving conflicting statements and being suspected of withholding information about the case.

The fatal encounter between Christopher and Davis has been described as arising from an altercation. Few other public details about the events leading up to the homicide have been released. Does anyone in the Columbia area have information about Marcus Christopher’s last known movements or the dispute that led to his death?
