In the spring of 2019, the life of 21-year-old Tre'Vion Alexander Marks was tragically cut short in Fairfield, Alabama. On the evening of April 3rd, police and fire medics responded to a 911 call in the 6600 block of Tensaw Court. There, they discovered a grim scene inside a wrecked car. Tre'Vion was in the passenger's seat, and in the driver's seat was another young man, Deshawn Ferrez Jackson, also 21. Both men had been shot and were pronounced dead at the scene, leading authorities to open a double homicide investigation.
The initial investigation revealed that the vehicle had sustained some damage, and evidence of a shooting was present. Authorities believed the homicides were not an isolated incident. Detectives stated their belief that the killings of Marks and Jackson were connected to another homicide that had occurred in the same area just weeks earlier, on March 15, 2019. The prevailing theory from law enforcement was that all three deaths were related to illegal drug activity.
Despite the police's belief that there were likely witnesses to the daytime shootings in a populated area, the case has remained unsolved. Fairfield detectives have appealed to the public for any information that could lead to the arrest of a suspect. As of the latest available information, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified in the double homicide of Tre'Vion Alexander Marks and Deshawn Ferrez Jackson. Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama has offered a potential cash reward for information leading to an arrest.
