Marcus Alva Fagons was not only my brother, he was a father and an uncle who never got the chance to meet his nephew or watch his daughters grow up. At just 26 years old, his life was tragically and unjustly taken in cold blood. This is a story of a young man who had a bright future ahead of him—a future that was cruelly stolen by Carli Reed.

Despite the gravity of her actions, Carli Reed accepted a plea deal on voluntary manslaughter, shoehorning her crime into a lesser sentence. Now, there is a movement pushing for clemency, which would be an additional miscarriage of justice. Allowing clemency for Carli Reed not only disregards the severity of her crime but also denies Marcus's family the justice they deserve. It's a slap in the face to every person who loved and cared for Marcus, and a failure of the system meant to protect us all.

Let's remember the man Marcus was—a loving father, a loyal brother, and a cherished uncle. His legacy deserves to be one of justice rather than injustice.

We demand that the governor’s office reassess the consideration for clemency. Clemency in this case would undermine the severity of Marcus’s loss and the impact on the community left in the wake of his murder. Instead, let us set a precedent that cold-blooded acts are met with fair and appropriate justice and no shortcuts.

I urge you to sign this petition to uphold justice for Marcus Alva Fagons and ensure that his murderer serves the full and deserved sentence. Do not allow Carli Reed's actions to be minimized. Stand with us as we fight for justice and the memory of Marcus.

Please sign this petition today to make sure our voices are heard loud and clear by the governor’s office. Marcus deserves justice, and your support can help us achieve it. Thank you.
