Hennepin County prosecutors have charged a man with second-degree murder in the July 25, 2025, shooting death of Justin “Juice” Marshall, a beloved Minneapolis DJ whose killing drew an outpouring of grief across the city.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara announced Monday that the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office has charged Dijon Jacquez Davis in connection with Marshall’s death.
“Justin was a bright light in every room,” Marshall’s sister, Jasmine Cage, wrote on a fundraising campaign. “Full of energy, laughter, and kindness. He worked loyally at Kowalski’s, where he was a proud candidate in the Fastest Bagger Competition. He was well-known and well-loved as a DJ at F45 Training. He created art and spread joy with music and laughter wherever he went. He was known and loved by many in the Tailgate Sports Cafe, where he often met friends and shared his magnetic energy.”
Officers from the Fifth Precinct responded at approximately 2:33 a.m. on July 25, 2025, to a reported shooting near Franklin Avenue and Lyndale Avenue South, where they found a man in his 30s with life-threatening gunshot wounds. Officers began CPR at the scene before Marshall was transported by ambulance to Hennepin Healthcare, where he later died. The case is filed under case number 25-207056.
According to preliminary investigation, Marshall had been speaking with a man seated inside a vehicle when the suspect stepped out and fired multiple shots before fleeing the scene ahead of officers’ arrival.
Known widely as “Juice,” Marshall was a DJ who connected people across many corners of the city. His death was felt far beyond the Minneapolis music community.
“This was a heartbreaking and senseless act of violence that took a beloved member of our community,” Chief O’Hara said. “Justin Marshall’s life mattered. While news of charges will not alleviate the pain of the loss his family and friends have endured, it does bring some soothing for the longing for justice they have demanded.”
O’Hara credited his department’s homicide unit for sustaining the investigation over the nine months since Marshall’s death.
