Marrickco Swift, a 41-year-old Black man from Memphis, Tennessee, was killed by gun violence on June 8, 2018.
In the days that followed, the killing was linked in later reporting to a shooting outside the Grizzly Mart store on National Street, a small stop along a busy stretch of the city where people come and go at all hours. The store is listed at 1094 National Street in Memphis.
By June 26, 2018, news coverage indicated that multiple teenagers had been charged in connection with the fatal shooting. Public references to that report did not provide additional case details in the available summaries, but the charging decision suggested investigators believed they had identified responsible suspects.
In the wake of his death, those close to him remembered him in personal terms as “keekee,” and memorial posts identified two daughters, Quayeisha and Kierney, as part of the family left behind.
