On the evening of November 17, 2016, Marquail Lamar Manley, a 24-year-old Black male, was fatally shot in Newport News, Virginia. A graduate of Menchville High School and originally from Suffolk, Virginia, Manley was known by loved ones for his respectful and loving nature. The shooting occurred shortly after 9:30 p.m. outside the Harpers Landing Apartments, where Manley was found on a staircase and succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
At the time of the incident, authorities reported
that they were looking for multiple suspects in connection with the shooting. The investigation into Manley's death remains ongoing, and as of the latest available information, no arrests have been publicly announced. The circumstances that led to the shooting have not been officially released.
The tragic event has left Marquail Manley's family and community seeking answers and justice. The lack of publicly identified suspects or arrests in the years following his death has meant that the case remains unresolved. The Murray Law Firm has raised questions about the security measures at the apartment complex where the shooting took place, suggesting the possibility of a wrongful death claim due to negligent security.
