On a Sunday night in the spring of 2022, the life of Marcus Lewis, a 44-year-old Black man, was ended by gunfire in Albany, Georgia. He was a passenger in a white Dodge Charger with another man, and their car was stopped at a downtown intersection when the attack occurred.
The shooting happened shortly after 10:00 p.m. on April 10, 2022, at the corner of Jackson Street and Broad Avenue. According to the Albany Police Department, another vehicle approached and someone inside opened fire on the Charger. The barrage of bullets killed Marcus Lewis and wounded the other man in the car. Following the shooting, the Dodge Charger crashed into a light pole at the intersection. Emergency responders arrived to find Lewis deceased, and the second victim was transported to a local hospital for his injuries.
Investigators with the Albany Police Department began piecing together the events of that night.
The initial phase of their inquiry led them to believe that the suspects had been traveling in a red Dodge Challenger at the time of the deadly assault. However, the trail seemed to go cold, and no arrests were made in the months that followed.
More than a year later, in May 2023, authorities publicly renewed their call for help from the community, seeking new details that could advance the case. The shooting of Marcus Lewis remains unsolved, and no suspects have been publicly identified or charged. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Albany Police Department at (229) 431-2100 or Albany Crime Stoppers at (229) 436-TIPS.
