Eric Clark, 22, was killed on December 31, 2017, in Florissant, Missouri, during what police describe as a firearms mishandling incident. Clark and 23-year-old Devin Booker were inside a parked vehicle in the 11300 block of Bristol Rock Road when officers were called after a firearm discharge. Clark suffered a gunshot wound to the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police reports state the two men were comparing firearms and that Booker was handling a loaded .45-caliber handgun in the rear passenger seat. While racking the slide back and forth, Booker reportedly pulled the trigger and the gun fired a single round that struck Clark. Booker stayed at the scene, admitted to firing the weapon, and told officers the shooting was accidental. Investigators characterized the death as the result of reckless behavior; Booker was charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter and held on $25,000 bond.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember seeing the two men together that night or who can add details about what happened in the vehicle?
