An argument on an early Wednesday evening in Goodyear, Arizona, escalated into a fatal shooting that left one man dead. The victim was identified as 53-year-old Robert Marshall, a male resident of Chandler. The incident, which took place on October 11, 2023, near the intersection of 155th Lane and Meade Lane, prompted a swift response from the Goodyear Police Department after they received a call about a disturbance at approximately 7:00 p.m.
Upon their arrival, officers discovered that the disturbance had tragically turned into a shooting. Robert Marshall had sustained a gunshot wound. Despite immediate medical attention provided at the scene and his subsequent transport to a local hospital, Marshall succumbed to his injuries. Investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident and that the suspect and victim were acquainted with each other prior to the deadly confrontation.
Shortly after the shooting, authorities took a suspect into custody without incident. The individual was identified as 20-year-old Amarei Hunter of Goodyear. Following his arrest, Hunter was booked into jail and is facing a charge of second-degree murder. The Goodyear Police Department's investigation into the circumstances that led to the argument and ultimately Marshall's death is ongoing.
Robert 'Dre' Marshall, as he was known to friends and family, was formerly a resident of Flint, Michigan, before relocating to Arizona. His death has been noted as a tragic loss, with funeral services planned in his former home state.
