Marquis Bradley, a 29-year-old male from Reading, Pennsylvania, was killed on Sunday, February 10, 2019, after a shooting inside Good Deal Food Mart in Reading. Public reporting described him as being found fatally shot in an aisle of the convenience store, turning an ordinary night at a neighborhood business into the scene of a homicide investigation. His death was also recorded by gun-violence memorial sources as a fatal shooting in Reading on that date.
Bradley was from Reading and had deep ties to the city. His obituary said he was born in Reading to Duane Bradley and Joann Jones, both of Reading, and that he had been educated in the Reading public school system before graduating from Reading High School. He had last worked for Pratt Display Corporation in Reading. Away from work, he was remembered as an avid Philadelphia Phillies fan whose love and passion was baseball, and as someone who enjoyed old school rap music.
After the shooting, the case was treated as a homicide.
