Marquise Roach, a young African American male, was fatally shot on December 15, 2017, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was shot in front of a home in the 500 block of Northwest 34th Avenue after approaching the front door while riding a bicycle. Witnesses say a blue Volkswagen SUV with tinted windows pulled up and Tyrez Brown, identified by witnesses as Nuk, exited from the passenger side. The two men appeared to be preparing for a physical altercation when Brown drew a gun from his waistband and shot Marquise.
Marquise was found in the driveway with a gunshot wound and a 9 mm shell casing nearby; he was taken to Broward Health Medical Center, where he later died. Tyrez Brown was arrested in Fort Pierce by the U.S. Marshals Service and charged with one count of first-degree murder. Witness testimony and scene evidence were part of the investigation.
Does anyone have information about Marquise’s movements that afternoon or who else was at the house that might help clarify what led to this confrontation?
