Clarence King Jr., a 30-year-old construction worker from Fort Pierce, Florida, was found with gunshot wounds on the evening of December 17, 2018, in the 2500 block of Avenue I. He was taken to a hospital but died of his injuries. Clarence was born February 16, 1988, and is remembered by family and the community as a son, brother, and father.

Authorities treated the shooting as suspicious and opened an investigation. Police confirmed he had been shot but released few details early on. Detectives pursued leads and sought help from the public, but no arrests have been announced and the case remains open. The lack of immediate witnesses and leads has complicated the investigation.

Anyone with information about Clarence’s death or who may have seen activity around Avenue I on December 17, 2018, is asked to contact the Fort Pierce law enforcement tip line.
