KC man accused in parking lot shooting where police recovered 121 shell casings
A Kansas City man faces multiple felony charges in connection with a shooting that happened in a parking lot over the summer, court records show.
Marvillie M. Marshall, 19, is charged with two counts of armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon and second-degree assault in Jackson County Circuit Court.
According to court records, Marshall was first charged in November and appeared in court for the first time earlier this month. On Friday, a bond review hearing was scheduled for Dec. 16.
Marshall is accused of opening fire in the direction of dozens of people outside a business near 5950 Manchester Avenue in Kansas City June 29.
Surveillance video captures parking lot shooting
Police said in a probable cause statement that a caller reported seeing a shooting on their surveillance cameras near the address. Investigators reviewed the footage, which allegedly shows gunfire erupting amid “a bunch of vehicles” in the parking lot, according to court records.
The video allegedly shows muzzle flashes from two firearms, then people fleeing for cover. Police say a man later identified as Marshall is then seen running through the parking lot and returning fire with a handgun over vehicles and dozens of uninvolved people.
Investigators said the man was seen shooting with his left hand, and his right hand appeared to be injured.
According to the police statement, the shooter’s face was covered during the shooting. Police say they identified Marshall based on clothing he was wearing at the time of the shooting matching the same clothes seen on his social media.
His injured hand also led to his identification. Marshall had a known right arm injury from another suspected incident in May, police said.
Investigators recovered approximately 121 shell casings from the scene, according to court records.
Marshall’s interview with police
Weeks later, on Aug. 20, police arrested Marshall at a QuikTrip in Grandview, according to court records. Officers recovered a Glock 17 9mm handgun equipped with a light and a 50-round drum magazine, according to court records. He was placed on a 24-hour investigative hold for unlawful use of a weapon.
In an interview with police, Marshall allegedly admitted being present during the shooting. He told police that he was hanging with some people when they advised him to stay on “P.” He told officers this meant to “stay on point” because the “Opps” had their location, according to court records.
Marshall then told police he saw the muzzle flashes and that he started to run, jump over people and shoot, the probable cause statement said. Court records say Marshall told police that said he normally shoots right-handed but fired left-handed because of his broken arm.
Detectives allege Marshall is associated with the 256/356 group, which police describe as a hybrid criminal street gang linked to violent and property crimes in the Kansas City area.
Marshall denied gang affiliation but acknowledged knowing the meaning behind the group’s name, according to court records.
According to a statement from the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, Marshall was identified by SAVE KC as an individual at risk of being involved with or victimized by violent crime.
SAVE KC or Stand Against Violence, Everyone/ Everywhere/ Every Day, is a program that identifies those most likely to commit and be victims of violent crimes, and invites them to a “call-in” meeting featuring messages from police, religious leaders and victims’ families.
Marshall did not attend a call in, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Marshall is due to appear in court at 9:15 a.m. Dec. 16 in Jackson County Circuit Court. According to online jail records, Marshall remains in custody at the Jackson County Detention Center on a $25,000 cash only bond.
