On the morning of August 22, 2014, Marlon Bennett, a 38-year-old male, was found shot to death in his Marrero, Louisiana, home. The grim discovery was made by Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputies who were dispatched to his residence at 2504 Oregon Drive in response to a report of a shooting. The investigation that followed suggested a violent home invasion.
Investigators believe that one or more suspects forced their way into Bennett's home at gunpoint. It was in the apparent privacy of his own bedroom that Bennett was fatally shot. The preliminary motive for this violent act is believed to be robbery.
In the years following the death of Marlon Bennett, his case has remained open. Information regarding any potential suspects or arrests has not been publicly released by law enforcement. The case is still considered an active and unsolved homicide, with authorities continuing to seek information from the public that may lead to a breakthrough in the investigation.
