The family of Marcus Martin, the innocent bystander who was shot and killed during a fight in the Selma Walmart parking lot on Jan. 31, has released funeral information.
Martin, 40, will be buried on Saturday, Feb. 8 in a service at 11 a.m. at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church with Rev. James Perkins Jr. officiating and Rev. Anton Trimble serving as eulogist. Burial will follow in the Serenity Memorial Gardens with Aubrey Larkin's Lewis Brothers Funeral Home of Selma assisting.
Martin was sitting in his truck in the Walmart parking lot off U.S. 80 around 9 p.m. when he was hit by a stray bullet from a fight between several young men. The fight had started inside Walmart and continued into the parking lot.
Four suspects, ages 16 to 20, have been arrested and charged with capital murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
Martin's family has raised more than $11,000 through a GoFundMe page to cover the funeral costs.
