(Duluth, Georgia)  On Friday, September 21, 2012, officers assigned to the Central Precinct were dispatched to a Person Shot call at the Hertz Rental Car Company at 3492 Satellite Boulevard in Duluth.  When the officers arrived, they located a 25-year old victim who was suffering from a gunshot wound to her abdomen.  The victim, Monique Marlowe, was at the rear of the business surrounded by co-workers who were attempting to give her first aid while awaiting police and ambulance arrival. 

Prior to being transported to the hospital, Monique told the officers that she didn’t know the person who shot her.  She described the suspect as a black male wearing a blue shirt. 

Soon after arriving at the hospital, Monique died of her injuries. 

During the investigation, investigators learned that Monique was at the rear of the business cleaning a rental vehicle when the crime occurred.  While she was cleaning the car, she was approached by a black male.  Shortly after she was confronted, the suspect shot her with a handgun and fled the area.  It is unknown if he left the area on foot or in a vehicle. 

Officers saturated the area and conducted area searches and dumpster searches in an attempt to identify a suspect or discover evidence in this case.  Despite the heavy presence of officers, no credible leads could be established.  Over the next several days and weeks, scheduled canvases of the area were conducted by officers and detectives.  Again, no credible leads were uncovered.

As we approach the 3-year anniversary of this event, the family of Monique Marlowe is hoping that someone will come forward with information which could help identify the suspect in this case.

Hertz Rental Car Company has offered a $50,000 reward for information which leads to an arrest and conviction of the suspect.  Additionally, the family of the victim is offering another $50,000 for information which leads to an arrest and conviction.  (The family’s reward is only available to someone who gives credible information within 90 days of this media release:  07/07/2015.)
