Although it turns out the new Seeking Sister Wife star isn't any stranger to drama and scandals in the public eye.

Marcus and Taryn have been shrouded in controversy as they were present at the crime scene of a tragic fatal shooting at an "after-hours club."

HORRIFYING CLUB SHOOTING

Starcasm first made the connection between Seeking Sister Wife and the councilman's shooting scandal, which happened in Cleveland in October 2020.

The "after-hours club" was operating out of an abandoned building from a previous foreclosure that court documents revealed is owned by the state.

A 911 dispatch call televised on 19 News revealed police had knowledge of the building's history and ties to the after-hours bar previous to the shooting.

The emergency call was made when bullets came in from the front window of the illegal establishment.

Three people were reportedly shot by an unidentified man who was denied entry to the club by a bouncer.

Shameia Hurth, died from her injuries, Darnella Wilson was shot in the leg, and a man was shot in the arm.

Footage from body cameras on policemen was televised later on 19 News and showed dozens of frightened partiers exiting the building.

Two men carried Darnella out of the side door, and one of these individuals was later identified as Marcus.

As police investigated the incident further, a woman claimed to be the owner of the illegal property and she told police she was "hosting a birthday party."

The woman was later identified as Taryn, and Marcus also backed her up on her claims as he told police: "I have the lease to the place."

SEEKING PAPER TRAIL

19 News discovered a paper trail which tied Marcus and Taryn to the property.

Although the property foreclosed, the former owner had still been taking in $1000 a month for rent from the "OFC Group."

There are debtor documents where Marcus lists his company as The OFC Group LLC.

19 News found an article in the News Herald where Marcus lists the same company with his name.

The outlet also compared Marcus' signatures on the lease of the property with his campaign finance statement on file with the state and they appeared to match.

19 News found The OFC Group's business license on file with the state listed Taryn as the owner.

Law enforcement never revealed any information to the public about potential suspects for the shooting and the case is still ongoing.

The Sun has reached out to Marcus for comment and has received no immediate response.

CRIME UNFOLDS

Three months after the shooting, 19 News followed up on the story with an exclusive interview with Darnella, one of the victims.

Darnella was the woman carried out by Marcus caught on the body cameras of the police.

She explained it was her first time inside of the after-hours club.

Darnella said she paid a bouncer a $20 cash cover fee to enter the side door of the establishment and that it was "packed with a ton of people."

As she was dancing inside, it was "so crowded" she didn't realize she had been shot until she was being dragged out of the building into an ambulance.

19 News' sources were all unsure of where all of the cash money was going after they gave it to the bouncer.

Darnella said she did not know the club was an illegal establishment until after the shooting.

'ARE THEY REALLY HAPPY?'

Meanwhile, Marcus doesn't appear to be the fan-favorite after his family's debut on Seeking Sister Wife.

Fans have taken to Twitter to express their "confusion" over their story as they slam him for being a "cheater."

One fan wrote: "Wait a minute. He's an elected official?"

Another posted: "Marcus is an elected official and in a polygamous relationship. I wonder how the election commercials from his opponents are."

A third said: "This polygamy just allows him to continue to cheat without actually looking like he's cheating. He ain't slick."

A fourth chimed in: "Seems like they are okay with polygamy just to stay with ol' cheating Marcus. Are they really happy with this arrangement?"

Yet a fifth added: "I refuse to believe these beautiful queens are lining up to share this man."

Marcus told the TLC cameras: "We've been living a polygamous lifestyle for the past two years, and I think it's going great."

He explained he met India when he and Taryn were separated from their marriage.

Taryn had moved out with their child and meanwhile, Marcus got engaged to India.

Taryn said: "When Marcus brought up the idea of polygamy, I thought it kind of made sense for us."

I also really like the fact that I can have a relationship and love another person without it being a relationship that threatens my marriage with you."

India said she originally rejected the idea of polygamy, but Marcus was "persistent."

She continued: "We had growing pains, but now, Taryn and I get along great. People have to do what works for them and not what society says should work for you."
