A murder charge has been added against an offender already in custody and facing numerous charges in multiple violent crime cases from last summer.
A new second-degree murder charge and corresponding guilty plea were announced Monday involving Dijon Jacquez Davis, 19, of Las Vegas, in the shooting death of Justin “Juice” Marshall on July 25, 2025, in the Whittier neighborhood of south Minneapolis.
Both the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office (HCAO) and the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) issued statements on the development on Monday.
The HCAO statement said that Davis had been developed as a suspect in the murder of Marshall, and that as part of negotiations related to the resolution of other charged cases that were set for trial Monday, Davis agreed to provide facts to investigators that only he would have known as the shooter. Davis agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder and will be sentenced on May 7 to 261 months in prison, according to the plea agreement.
The charging document in the murder case says that Davis was in a vehicle and exchanged words with Marshall who was on foot near the intersection of West Franklin Avenue and Lyndale Avenue South. Davis pretended to drive away but circled back, got out of the vehicle, chased down Marshall, and shot him six times after he chased Marshall around a bus shelter.
“This was a heartbreaking and senseless act of violence that took a beloved member of our community,” said Chief O’Hara in the MPD statement. “Justin Marshall’s life mattered.”
Davis has been in custody since July 29, 2025, and is facing charges in at least six other violent crime cases, including several carjackings and robberies, some of which involved food delivery drivers, an attempted murder in north Minneapolis, fleeing from police and carrying a gun without a permit on the day he was captured, and third-degree assault for a violent attack on another inmate at Hennepin County Jail in October.
The statement by HCAO stated that a plea agreement would come together for the remaining six cases following sentencing in the murder case.
