A beloved church musician killed when he was caught in the crossfire of a gunbattle in the parking lot of an Alabama Walmart is being remembered as someone who was “loved fiercely” and as one of God’s best musicians.

Marcus Martin, 40, died Friday night from a gunshot wound to the head outside Walmart at Selma Mall. His mother was in the vehicle with him, but was not injured.

Three suspects – including two juveniles – are in custody. A fourth remains sought.

Martin worked as a musician for churches throughout Selma, and also in Detroit.

He was known as a jokester, and “crazy talented.”

“Marcus loved God, and he loved people,’’ said Maleeka Holloway, a close friend of the Martin family. “He was the light of every room he walked into.”

“He used his gift of music to celebrate others and to bring family, friends and the community together,’’ Holloway said.

“While we are heartbroken that he was taken away from us so soon, we do not mourn as those who have no hope,’’ Holloway said. “We are prayerful his death will bring about change in this community.”

The two juvenile suspects were taken into custody not long after the deadly shooting.

The third suspect, 20-year-old Willie James Hunter Jr., was taken into custody Tuesday in Selma, said Police Chief Kenta Fulford.

A fourth suspect, 19-year-old Roderick Benard Hunter, remains at large. Police said he should be considered armed and dangerous.

Court documents made public Wednesday release new details about the deadly shooting.

The investigation began about 9 p.m. Friday when a male called Selma police dispatchers and said he was being shot at, but did not want to speak with police. He told dispatchers the suspects possibly ran toward Selma Mall.

Officers arrived in the area of Walmart, and it was then dispatchers told them someone had been shot.

Martin was found inside a Ford F-150 with a gunshot wound to the left side of his head. Medics pronounced him dead on the scene.

Martin’s mother told police there were people shooting in the parking lot.

Walmart’s surveillance video footage showed an altercation that took place inside the store, with several men running out of the grocery entrance.

The men engaged in a shootout from park lot rows three to seven.

Martin was parked on Row 6 in the driver’s seat of his pickup truck.

Investigators were able to identify one of the males in the video, who is a juvenile.

His parents took him to the Selma Police Department where police said he admitted to engaging in a shootout with another juvenile against Willie James Hurnter Jr. and Tashun Hunter.

The teens, ages 16 and 17, both admitted to being involved in the shootout. Documents state they were firing a Glock and pistol rifle.

Martin’s death is mourned by many throughout the close-knit Selma community who are calling for a stop to the violence.

A celebration of his life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Ebenezer Baptist Church.

“Acts of violence like this have no place in our society,’’ said Dallas County District Attorney Robert Turner, Jr. in a Facebook post, “and we will not rest until justice is achieved for the victims and their loved ones.”

“We also call on the community to stand together in the face of this tragedy,’’ Turner said. “Now is the time for unity, resilience, and collective action to create a safer environment for all. We encourage anyone with information related to this case to come forward and assist law enforcement in their efforts.”

“These are very difficult times for everyone,’’ Mayor James Perkins said. “The anxiety level of people across this nation is higher than ever before. It is important that each of us decompress our feelings and better control our emotions. I continue in constant prayer for our nation, and I encourage all to do likewise.”
