Marlon Louis Brice, a 28-year-old African American man, was tragically shot and killed on March 2, 2016, outside the Silver Fox club in Jacksonville, Florida. The incident occurred around 1:20 a.m. in the club's parking lot, shortly after a group of patrons involved in a fight were ejected from the premises. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots, and Brice was found dead at the scene.
Another man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was critically injured after being shot in the face during the same incident.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office identified Brice as a resident of Playpen Drive. His death deeply affected his family and friends, who mourned his loss on social media. His sister, Kisha Brown, started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his funeral expenses. The Silver Fox club, where the shooting took place, had a history of violent incidents, including a drive-by shooting in May 2015 that injured a security guard and the death of another man in January 2015.
Despite the severity of the crime, the police did not immediately identify any suspects or make any arrests. The investigation into Brice's murder remained ongoing, with authorities seeking information from the public to help solve the case. The lack of immediate leads and the club's troubled history added complexity to the investigation, leaving Brice's family and the community searching for answers and justice.
Brice's obituary highlighted his close-knit family and the impact of his untimely death on his loved ones. He was remembered as a devoted father to his children, Ma'Leyah and Jordan Brice, and a beloved son, brother, and friend. The community came together to honor his memory and support his family during their time of grief.
