Texas police on hunt for escaped MMA vet Cedric Marks, who has three pending murder charges
Cedric Marks, a veteran of nearly 60 MMA fights, is on the run with a manhunt underway for him in Texas.
Houston’s KHOU-11 today reported that the 44-year-old Marks, who has three pending murder charges against him, escaped from a prisoner transport this morning in Conroe, Texas, about an hour north of Houston.
Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were called after Marks was able to escape from a prisoner transport vehicle. The vehicle, reportedly operated by a private company, was stopped at a McDonald’s for food when Marks escaped.
In early January, Marks’ ex-girlfriend, Jenna Scott, and an acquaintance of hers disappeared. Their bodies were found Jan. 15 in Oklahoma, and three days later Marks was named a suspect. At the time, he was in a Michigan jail waiting to be extradited to Texas for allegedly breaking into Scott’s house this past August.
Another Marks ex-girlfriend, April Pease, the mother of his child, disappeared in 2009 in Minnesota. She never has been found.
Marks has a 31-27-1 record as an MMA fighter, and his resume includes a fight for Bellator – a 2010 submission loss to Andrew Chappelle at Bellator 20. He currently has six straight losses and most recently fought in March 2018.
In the past 10 years, he has a 4-10 record, including losses to UFC veterans Daniel Sarafian and Bobby Voelker.
