Clifford Ross was in the wrong, and I say that because I was there and witnessed what happened firsthand. I am his ex wife, and on that day I opened my front door only because I wanted to talk to him and try to calm him down before the situation got worse. Instead of respecting my home or leaving, he forced his way inside without my permission. The man I was dealing with had locked himself inside the bedroom, but Clifford wasn’t trying to talk or peacefully resolve anything. He was armed with a gun and intentionally went after him. Clifford violently broke down the locked bedroom door with a gun in his hand, trying to get to the man inside. The moment he forced his way into that room, a struggle broke out because the man was fighting for his life. Clifford tried to shoot him, but during the struggle the man grabbed the gun and forced it away from his own face and body to keep himself from being shot. While they were fighting over control of the weapon, the gun discharged and Clifford was shot. That is why I have always said Clifford was never the victim in the way people try to make him out to be. The only reason he became the victim was because he was the one who ended up being shot after creating the entire situation himself. If Clifford had never forced his way into my home, broke in a locked bedroom door head first and never entered that room with a gun intending to confront and kill the man inside, none of this would have happened. Everything that occurred was a direct result of Clifford’s own choices and actions. The fact that the other man later accepted a plea deal for involuntary manslaughter does not change what actually happened or what I witnessed with my own eyes. Plea agreements happen for many different reasons, but they do not rewrite the truth. From the very beginning, Clifford was the aggressor, he initiated the violence, and he created the circumstances that led to his own death. In my opinion, based on everything I personally witnessed, Clifford Ross was 1000% in the wrong.
I love you David I’m sorry you had to go through all of this

Ross showed up with a gun, broke down two doors, got his gun taken from him, and ended up getting killed with his own weapon. He was a gangbanger from Grape Street, known in his hood but that didn’t save him. That’s what happens when you F around and find out. Why break down doors at your ex-wife’s house like that, especially when you’ve got a girlfriend at home? That kind of reckless behavior, fueled by emotion and ego, is what leads to situations like this. Once you bring a gun into it, there’s no controlling how it ends.
