Marvayah Darby was only 12 years-old when her life was tragically taken during the early-morning hours of June 13th, 2025. The young girl lived with her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was shot to death at her residence on 5000 block of N. 73rd Street.
The shooting occurred at approximately 1:20 AM. At that time, according to reports, a vehicle pulled up in front of the Darby’s home.Then, a person or persons inside the vehicle fired several rounds at the residence. Some of the bullets traveled into the home and struck Marvayah as she slept in her bedroom. She did not survive and was pronounced deceased by first responders.
The Milwaukee Police Department and the FBI have been searching for Marvayah’s killer(s) since the onset of the investigation. Unfortunately, the case has quickly grown cold; as detectives have been unable to identify any suspects. Investigators have shared that they believe “a silver or gray SUV may have been involved” in the shooting. Other than that, there is no further information about a potential suspect or suspects.
Reports state that the Darby family had moved into the home just a few weeks prior to the shooting. One particular report on the case states that “detectives believe the house itself may have been the target, not Marvayah.” Relatives of the family have stated that they do not know why anyone would want to harm Marvayah or anyone in her family.
Investigators have reportedly interviewed neighbors of the Darby family, classmates of Marvayah, and “anyone listed in gang databases.” Unfortunately, nothing has led detectives to any substantial leads. The FBI has offered a $10,000 reward in exchange for information that leads to the arrest/conviction of Marvayah’s killer(s).
