INCIDENT TYPE: Homicide
OFFICER SUBMITTING RELEASE: Lt. Jim Clements-Homicide; Sgt. Carla Burr-PIO
DETAILS: The Amarillo Police Homicide Unit is asking for help with the unsolved murder of Markell Damarion Toombs-Reed from January 26, earlier this year.
Police were called to the 4100 block of S. Travis on a neighbor hearing shots fired. When they arrived, Markell was found down in the street suffering from a gunshot wound. He died there on the street.
A suspect vehicle was caught on camera. Detectives also know from video evidence, there are multiple suspects in this shooting. We have included a photo of them exiting the suspect vehicle.
We are hoping someone in our community knows who did this or who this vehicle belongs to. It is a Chevrolet Impala and thought to be silver or gray, or possibly pewter or beige or a similar color. Due to the hour of the morning when the vehicle was seen on camera, it is hard to say for sure the color. A photo of the vehicle is attached to this release. And a photo of Markell to remind everyone why we want to solve this case. For him, his family and justice.
If anyone has any information on this incident, you can call the Amarillo Crime Stoppers at 806-374-4400. Or you can go to their website at amapolice.org or download the p3 tips. All tips are anonymous. There is a reward if your tip results in the solving of this murder.
