OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 06/12/2025 around 10 a.m., a U.S. Marshal from the D.C. Superior Court presence approached Marco Moseley near the Convention Center. According to Marshals, the deputy “perceived a threat,” shot him in the head, killing him. The deputy was on duty and did not sustain injuries. Family and supporters report Moseley was simply walking and/or seated in a vehicle; they say he did not pose a threat and that no weapon was found. Video shows him unresponsive on the ground while bystanders urged officers to administer first aid . The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is leading the criminal investigation, and the U.S. Marshals Service declined further comment, stating standard protocol.

ONLINE DISCUSSION (Reddit):
“This is my cousin Marco. … He didn’t even have a gun on him or in his car!”
“I probably would’ve crashed out on the marshal myself but now … THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING!”
So far, no official account confirms a weapon or threat, and his family is demanding transparency.
