Reward offered in Hertz employee murder

By Sandra Parrish

Gwinnett County —

Police investigators in Gwinnett County are hoping a reward will lead to the killer of a Hertz employee who was gunned down in the parking lot of the business last Friday afternoon.

Hertz is offering $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for Monique Marlow’s death.

“We’ve done that because all of us at Hertz, from our staff in Georgia to all of us in our headquarters here in New Jersey and across the country, are just absolutely shocked and devastated by… this senseless act of violence,” says Richard Broome, Senior V.P. of Corporate Affairs and Communications for the Hertz Corporation.

The 24-year-old woman was cleaning out a car in the parking lot of the Hertz on Satellite Boulevard last Friday between 5pm and 5:30pm when she was shot to death. 

Marlow, who was discovered by another employee, was able to tell police the suspect was a young black man wearing a blue shirt before she died.

But so far police have not received sufficient leads in the case to make an arrest.

“We are committed to do whatever we can as her employer, and to support her family, to see that justice is done in this case,” Broome tells WSB’s Sandra Parrish.

Police say a bus hub is located near the parking lot where Marlow was killed and are asking anyone who may have seen anything related to the murder to contact their homicide unit at 770-513-5300.
