On September 12, 2021, Cedar Hill Police were called to the 1000 block of Fieldstone Dr. early in the morning to investigate a call for help. The call was made by a female who stated she needed help, and dispatchers reported that the call was accompanied by screaming and a loud banging noise. When police arrived at the home at approximately 2 a.m., they attempted to make contact at the front door, but there was no answer.
Officers checked the outer portion of the residence and heard a male moaning behind the locked back door. They made entry into the home and found 60-year-old John Clark on the floor near the back door. He was not injured but advised that someone was shot in the master bedroom. Cedar Hill Police checked the master bedroom and found a deceased female in the adjoining bathroom. She was tentatively identified as 34-year-old Nadia Yasin. A handgun was discovered by police on the bed in the master bedroom, and they found a second handgun in the bathroom near the deceased woman.
After further investigation, Clark was arrested and charged with murder, a first-degree felony. Reports indicate that the deceased was the stepdaughter of Clark. The 911 call identified a woman’s voice saying “Stop it, I need help” before a gunshot was heard. Following the gunshot, a male voice was heard speaking. The incident appeared to be an isolated case with no ongoing threat to the community. This is an ongoing investigation with limited details. Anyone with information related to the incident is encouraged to contact Detective Schar at 972-291-5181 ext 2258.
