On Wednesday afternoon, December 1, 1993, 47-year-old Milton S. Clarke was shot and killed on Eastchester Road in the Bronx. Clarke, a Black male who had served about four and a half years with the New York City Police Department’s Auxiliary Police Section, heard gunfire at roughly 2:30 p.m. and went to intervene. He was carrying his licensed .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol when the armed suspect fired, striking Clarke in the chest.

Clarke was taken to Jacobi Medical Center but died from his injuries. He was survived by his wife, Zelma, and their two children, Wayne and Monique.

Did anyone in the Bronx at the time see the shooting or have information about the confrontation on Eastchester Road?
