Khiry Clark, a 25-year-old Black/African American male from Wilmington, Delaware, was one of two men fatally wounded in a double shooting on September 9, 2020. The violence unfolded in the 3400 block of Church Street, where authorities reported that Clark and 25-year-old Namir Brown-Sullivan were shot at approximately 6:38 p.m. Both men were struck by gunfire, turning what began as an evening in Wilmington’s Eastlawn area into a homicide investigation.
Brown-Sullivan was identified as
the first victim who died from his injuries. Clark was later identified as the second victim in the same incident after he also succumbed to the wounds he suffered in the shooting. Public memorial records list Clark as having been lost to gun violence in Wilmington on September 9, 2020, while obituary sources reported his passing as September 10, 2020, indicating he may have died after the shooting but before public confirmation was released.
Clark’s obituary described him as a Wilmington-raised man who attended Eastside Charter and Nativity Preparatory School before receiving his diploma from John Dickinson High School. He was remembered as a hard worker, a devoted father, and someone whose children were central to his life. Family memorial information described him as quiet, reserved, kind, and gentle, with a smile that stood out to those who knew him. He enjoyed chess, basketball, and spending time with his children, especially trips to the beach.
The shooting remained under investigation in the immediate public reports. Authorities asked anyone with information to contact Detective Brian Conkey or Delaware Crime Stoppers. Publicly available reporting located for this synopsis did not identify a suspect, announce an arrest, or provide details about charges, trial proceedings, or convictions connected specifically to Clark’s death.
