Marquon Tyree Green (Jan 20, 1979 – Aug 27, 2000) died from several gunshot wounds on August 27, 2000.
Green was in Spring Valley Park, Missouri, attending a rapper’s concert. Another person was shot in the leg. At least two people started shooting. Whether Green and the other victim were intended targets, is unclear.
Despite the fact that there were many people in the park attending the concert, around 300 according to the newspaper, nobody saw what happened. Nobody has been arrested in this case. More can be found here.
I realize that this is very little information. I will keep looking and as soon as I find more in the newspapers I will update this case either in this post or in the cold case database.

In the series “Case of the Month” I highlight old cold cases. These posts are not an in-depth analysis and of course, more information can be found online and in newspaper archives.
We need to get these cases back in the mainstream media, to get people talking again, and if anything, to make sure that we do not forget the victims. Just because their cases are unsolved does not mean that we can forget about them.
With the advances we made in modern forensic sciences, we may have a chance to find clues that previous remained hidden because we didn’t have the technology. Now that we do, let’s review all these old cases once more.
I encourage you to share this post on your own social media platforms. By sharing these posts, the cases reach new networks, new connections, and new online news feeds. Maybe one day these updates will pop up in the right person’s news feed. This may be someone who can actually help advance the case and that is my goal.
Rest in peace, Marquon Tyree Green.
