Nineteen-year-old Keyon Clark was shot and killed on the evening of June 19, 2019, at the Frank Lemon Playground in the Shrewsbury area of Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans. Clark, a former standout wide receiver for George Washington Carver High School, was at the playground with his older brother, Darrell D.J. Clark, a football player at Grambling State University, when gunfire erupted around 9:20 p.m.

Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies found Keyon at the scene and he was pronounced dead. D.J. Clark and a third person who had been with the brothers were also struck and hospitalized. Family members reported that D.J. Clark’s young son was present but was unharmed.

Investigators sought a motive and the identity of the shooter or shooters and asked the public for information. If anyone who knew Keyon, his brother, or who was at the Frank Lemon Playground that night has information, please come forward.
