On the evening of March 9, 2013, 18-year-old African-American male Thaddeus Clark was fatally shot in Dorchester, Boston. Police responded at about 6:34 p.m. to reports of a shooting on Ronald Street and found two people with gunshot wounds inside a gray Toyota Corolla at Columbia Road and Hancock Street. Thaddeus Clark, known as Mighty to friends, was pronounced dead at the scene; the other victim was taken to Boston Medical Center in critical condition. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. Thaddeus was the son of Anita Clark and Kevin Mitchell and brother of Jakayla and Curtis Clark-Foster; his funeral was held at Grace Church of All Nations in Dorchester with interment at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Boston. Two months later, on May 4, 2013, his mother Anita Clark was also murdered in Stoughton; her ex-husband Willie Foster was arrested in that case.
