Police Looking for Answers After Parkville Murder of Tavon Marshall


Police are continuing to investigate the shooting death of Tavon Marshall on Nov. 26, just two days before Thanksgiving, and are hoping the public can help.

Detectives believe that Tavon (pictured above) had just arrived home to the 3500 block of Fieldcreek Way in a neighborhood just south of the intersection of Upton Road and Kintore Drive in Parkville. It appears that Tavon was shot just after he exited his car around 9:42 p.m. as he was found lying in the parking lot near his vehicle after the shots rang out.

Police believe that Tavon was the intended target of this shooting and suspect that the shooter was in the neighborhood waiting for him to arrive home. Anyone who may have seen a person or vehicle that was out of the ordinary in the neighborhood before the shooting took place is asked to contact police with information. Police added that it was very cold that evening, only around 40 degrees and windy, so it would have been unusual for someone to be hanging around outside without a clear purpose.

Police are also asking anyone who recognizes Tavon or has any additional information about him to contact police. Call 410-307-2020 to reach Homicide investigators. Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward when submitting tips through Metro Crime Stoppers.
