In the late summer of 2017, 37-year-old Catherine Tenise Clark was found dead in a roadway in Piedmont, South Carolina on August 5. She had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, and investigators treated her death as a homicide. Clark was a mother, daughter and sister; her death deeply affected her family and community.

Authorities developed evidence pointing to a Greenville man, Samuel Burnside. Investigators say Clark and Burnside had been together in his car on the day she died, that an argument occurred, and that Burnside forced Clark from the vehicle and shot her three times before leaving her body in the road.

Burnside was tried in 2020, convicted of murder and sentenced to 45 years in prison. An appeal was later filed and in May 2023 the South Carolina Court of Appeals denied that appeal, leaving the conviction in place.

If anyone knew Catherine or has information about what happened that day, please come forward to share what you know.
