1993: The Boy in the Backseat
from 90s Crime Time · host Simone Taylor
In Chicago, 1993, a young man was found dead in the backseat of a car, shot execution-style in a case that would leave behind decades of questions, controversy, and suspicion. This case would eventually become tied to confusing timelines and overturned convictions. As investigators searched for answers, attention slowly began turning toward someone much closer to the victim than many expected... and shocked others. Years later, that same individual would become linked to another suspicious death before eventually being tied to the murder of a different person years later...WARNING: This case talks about crimes against alleged domestic violence and police brutality.Check out the website! - 90scrimetime.comNews SourcesJustia - https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/414/736/622115Chicago Tribunehttps://www.newspapers.com/image/418246435/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20 - a small tribute to Marshall Jr. from his coach and teammates https://www.newspapers.com/image/478903724/?terms=marshall%20morgan - a little about Marshall Jr. and his murder (sort of lengthy) https://www.newspapers.com/image/418162978/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20 - about his mother searching for her son, Marshall Jr. https://www.newspapers.com/image/418186049/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20 - report of Marshall Jr.’s body found https://www.newspapers.com/image/1004559142/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20 - Tyrone Hood’s settlement https://www.chicagotribune.com/1993/05/29/man-charged-with-killing-iit-student/ - Tyrone Hood charged https://www.newspapers.com/image/240892274/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan - Marshall Sr.’s murdered wife’s daughter speaks about how she feels that there are similarities between her mother’s murder and Marshall Jr.’shttps://www.newspapers.com/image/241373684/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20sr - Tyrone released from prisonhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/234318380/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20sr - Tyrone trying to clear his name.https://www.newspapers.com/image/241461403/?match=1&terms=marshall%20morgan%20jr - alleged signs point to Marshall Sr.Exoneration Project - https://www.exonerationproject.org/stories/tyrone-hood/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Equal Justice Initiative - https://eji.org/news/innocent-illinois-man-tyrone-hood-sentence-commuted/?utm_source=chatgpt.com The New Yorker - https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/08/04/crime-fiction CBS News— https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/over-10-years-exonerated-wayne-washington-name-cleared/ Illinois Department of Corrections- https://idoc.illinois.gov/offender/inmatesearch.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/90s-crime-time--6849554/support.Follow 90s Crime Time on Social Media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/90scrimetime/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/90scrimetime/medium.com- https://medium.com/me/stories/publicShow your support!Buy Me a Coffee- buymeacoffee.com/90scrimetime
