Marcus Gurley, 33, is charged with criminal homicide for the fatal shooting of Keiahtee Terrell, 29, in a parking lot on Shelby Avenue near South 20th Street in Shelby Park.
East Precinct officers responded October 22 just after 7 a.m. after receiving a report of a man lying on the ground. Officers found Terrell deceased with multiple gunshot wounds in a grassy area near the parking lot.
During the investigation, led by Homicide Detective James Davis, it was learned that on the night of Saturday, October 21, Terrell and three friends drove to the tennis courts parking lot in Shelby Park where Terrell had reportedly agreed to meet Gurley to physically fight him over an ongoing dispute. Gurley and Terrell began fighting when, according to witnesses, both men fell to the ground. When both got up, Gurley allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Terrell multiple times.
A person out walking located Terrell early Sunday morning and contacted police.
In addition to criminal homicide, Gurley is also charged on an unrelated order of protection/restraining order violation. He is being held in lieu of $104,500 bond.
