Marshall reportedly knew Little and specifically targeted him, but it's unclear why.

Marshall, who also goes by Junior, is said to attend Oakland Mills High School, however he's yet to show up for class this year, suggesting he may have left town. He does have ties to Wicomico County.

"Police have conducted an extensive and exhaustive search for Marshall. They have reviewed troves of digital evidence, conducted hundreds of hours of surveillance, and enlisted the assistance of federal partners, but have been unable to locate Marshall," police said in a press release.
