Stephon Alonzo Clark, 22, was shot and killed on the evening of March 18, 2018, in the Meadowview neighborhood of Sacramento, California. The shooting took place in the backyard of his grandmother’s house after two Sacramento Police Department officers, Terrence Mercadal and Jared Robinet, pursued him following reports of car windows being broken. Police body cameras and a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department helicopter captured the encounter.

Officers fired 20 rounds, saying they believed Clark was pointing a gun; he was later found to be holding only a cell phone. The Sacramento County Coroner’s autopsy reported seven gunshot wounds, including three to the right side of his back. A forensic pathologist hired by Clark’s family reported eight shots and said six entered his back, a discrepancy that intensified public controversy.

The shooting prompted widespread protests and calls for accountability. The officers were placed on paid administrative leave and a use of force investigation began. On March 2, 2019, the Sacramento County District Attorney announced no criminal charges would be filed; an independent investigation by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, announced March 5, 2019, likewise concluded no criminal charges could be sustained.

Did anyone in the Meadowview area witness Clark that night or have additional information about the events in the backyard?
