On the night of his death, Marcus was involved in a drug deal that turned violent. He was shot multiple times outside a Whataburger on the Northeast Side of San Antonio.
According to police reports, Marcus and a female companion had driven to the location to meet with individuals to sell marijuana. The situation escalated when one of the suspects pulled out a gun and demanded their belongings. As Marcus and his companion attempted to flee, the suspect opened fire, hitting Marcus multiple times.
