On a warm evening in Savannah, Georgia, on July 25, 2015, Hakeem Lamar Clark, a 26-year-old male, was with friends in the parking lot of the Fahm Street post office. The group was planning their night when they were approached by two individuals who demanded their belongings. During the course of the robbery, Hakeem was shot. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
For several years, the case remained under investigation.
The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department's violent crimes detectives continued to work on the case, seeking leads and information from the public. Investigators were looking for two slender black males who had their faces covered. A significant break in the case came in January 2018 when authorities identified a suspect.
Based on their investigation, detectives arrested 17-year-old Qwaizon Lee and charged him with murder, aggravated assault, and two counts of armed robbery in connection with the death of Hakeem Clark. At the time of the arrest, the investigation was still considered active as police continued to gather information about the incident. Further details regarding the progression of the case through the court system, including a trial, conviction, or sentencing for Qwaizon Lee, are not publicly available.
