Dontia Natasha Clark, a 20-year-old African American woman from Houston, Texas, was tragically found shot to death in her southwest Houston apartment on April 8, 2022. Dontia had just learned she was eight weeks pregnant with her first child the day before her death. Her family became worried when they couldn't reach her and sent her brother to check on her, leading to the grim discovery.
Dontia was described as bubbly and was attending Houston Community College.
The investigation revealed that there were no signs of forced entry, suggesting that Dontia knew her killer. Despite the family's belief that the father of her unborn child might be responsible, police have not yet identified any suspects or motives. The case remains open, and the Houston Police Department has urged anyone with information to come forward.
Dontia's family has been vocal about seeking justice, expressing their frustration with the lack of progress in the case. They have shared video evidence with the police, showing a man entering and leaving Dontia's apartment around the time of her murder. However, no arrests have been made, and the investigation continues.
The loss of Dontia has deeply affected her family and friends, who remember her as a loving and excited expectant mother. Her mother, Tasha Clark, has publicly called for justice, stating, "I just need justice for my baby. That's all. That's it."
