In the summer of 2015, a young man’s life was cut short on a street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Mark DeAngelo Mosley Jr., a 20-year-old male, became the city's 17th homicide victim that year on the evening of Saturday, July 18th. The incident unfolded in the 1000 block of South Cedar Street, where officers responded to a report of a shooting. Upon their arrival, they discovered Mosley lying on the ground, suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was rushed to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, but tragically, his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
Eyewitnesses at the scene provided a chilling account of the events that led to the fatal shooting. They reported that they were with Mosley when a vehicle approached them. An argument erupted between Mosley and an individual in the car, which quickly and violently escalated. The suspect then produced a firearm and shot Mosley.
In the days following the shooting, the Little Rock Police Department identified a suspect in the case. A warrant for first-degree murder was issued for the arrest of 16-year-old Marquese Gay. Authorities described Gay and warned that he should be considered armed and dangerous. He was to be charged as an adult once taken into custody. Despite the identification of a suspect and the issuance of a warrant, publicly available information does not detail an arrest or the final outcome of the legal proceedings against Marquese Gay in connection with the death of Mark DeAngelo Mosley Jr. The resolution of the case and whether justice was ultimately served for the young victim and his family remains unclear from available online sources.
