Clarence Allen Oglethorpe, a 72-year-old man, died on February 23, 2019 in El Dorado, Arkansas. He passed away at his home. Born on February 2, 1947 in Ferriday, Louisiana, he served in the U.S. Navy and later worked as an electric motor mechanic. Friends remembered him for hours at the computer and for weekly poker nights, an easygoing routine that grounded his days. Arrangements noted cremation after a family visitation, a quiet close for a life rooted in work, service, and simple pleasures.
Public memorial listings place his death among Americans killed with guns on that date, and a cold-case aggregator records that he was found deceased at his home in El Dorado; however, the contemporaneous obituary and cemetery notice focus on his life rather than investigative details. Across the public sources reviewed, there are no official statements naming a suspect and no records of arrests connected to his death. In other words, if an investigation occurred, its particulars were not made public in the sources available, and no suspect information is documented there.
