Marcus Side M. Clark was 25 when he was shot and killed in Chicago, Illinois, on January 3, 2019. He was found late at night with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene in a neighborhood described as having high crime rates.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle speed away. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses reportedly showed a suspect fleeing, and investigators recovered forensic leads. Police later identified Marcus Womack Jr., a 33-year-old man, as a suspect and charged him with first-degree murder and related weapons counts. The prosecution’s case included ballistics and DNA evidence plus witness testimony; the defense disputed those links and called the evidence circumstantial.

Womack was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. What details about that night or the people involved might help clarify what happened to Marcus?
