Marquez Hill-Turnipseed, the man behind the June 2023 Boom Island Park shooting that killed Stageina Whiting and wounded five others, has pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder. Just released from federal prison in March for possessing an illegal firearm, Hill-Turnipseed now faces a 40-year sentence — serving it all at once — as part of a plea deal. Authorities say he fired into a crowd from a car after earlier gunfire, with Whiting tragically caught in the crossfire. The case underscores the cycle of gun violence and repeat offenders, even as city patrols ramped up safety efforts following the tragedy.
