William Sodders, a 60-year-old Stockton resident, was shot to death at the doorway of his home near the Port of Stockton just before midnight on May 27, 2017. Officers found him with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to San Joaquin County General Hospital and died shortly after. Body camera footage shows Sodders identifying his assailant as Robert Arthur Clark, 29, a man known to the victim.

Prosecutors said Clark went to Sodders’ residence that night with two accomplices to avenge an alleged assault on a woman Clark knew. Michael Glass supplied the firearm used in the shooting and received a three-year prison term for his role, plus additional time for unrelated burglary convictions. Andrea Carter drove the getaway and was sentenced to local jail time and probation. Clark was convicted of second-degree murder with a firearm enhancement and was sentenced to 40 years to life.

A motion for a new trial alleging juror misconduct was denied by the judge; a dismissed juror claimed bullying and later married that juror during trial proceedings. Anyone with information about William Sodders or this case is asked to come forward.
