On a late summer evening in Nashville, Tennessee, the life of 28-year-old Reginald Clark was tragically cut short. Just after 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 28, 2012, Clark stepped out of the back door of his apartment at 807 B 32nd Avenue North. In the moments that followed, the sound of gunshots shattered the night, and Clark was fatally wounded. The male victim was identified as a Black man.
Living next door, Clark's mother heard the gunfire and immediately looked out her window. Her gaze fell upon a horrifying scene: two tall, slim men were standing over her son. One of them was going through his pockets. She screamed at the two men, and they quickly fled, running toward 33rd Avenue North. By the time anyone could reach him, Reginald Clark was dead.
In the years following the shooting, the case has grown cold. The Nashville Police Department continues to list the death of Reginald Clark as an unsolved homicide. The description of the two tall, slim Black men remains the only information publicly available about the suspects. No arrests have ever been made in the case, and the motive behind the senseless killing is still unknown. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to ask for anyone with information to come forward, leaving a family to wait for justice that has remained elusive for over a decade.
