Clarence Wayne Harris II, a 43-year-old man from League City, Texas, tragically died on June 28, 2017. He was born on July 3, 1973, and was known for his dedication to his family and his passion for sports. Harris worked in sales throughout his adult life and was well-loved by his friends and family.
The circumstances surrounding his death were quite dramatic. Harris was killed in a shooting incident at his home on Mayhill Ridge Lane. His wife, Amanda Harris, called 911 and reported that her ex-husband, Sayantan Ghose, was at their doorstep and had been stalking her for years. Both Amanda and Clarence had weapons on them, and during the altercation, Ghose shot Clarence multiple times, resulting in his death. Amanda was also shot twice but survived and was taken to a nearby hospital.
Sayantan Ghose, a 41-year-old registered nurse, was arrested and charged with murder. He was detained at a Border Patrol checkpoint near Las Cruces, New Mexico, 16 hours after the shooting. Ghose's ex-wife, Amanda Harris, had previously reported him for stalking, and the incident was witnessed by Amanda's 10-year-old daughter.
The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but the tragic event has left a lasting impact on the Harris family and the community. Clarence Wayne Harris II is remembered fondly by those who knew him, and his death has sparked discussions about domestic violence and the importance of addressing stalking behaviors.
It's a heartbreaking story, and my thoughts go out to Clarence's family and friends during this difficult time.
