Stirling Clark, 32, of Durham, North Carolina, was shot multiple times and killed during a late-night home invasion at his Torredge Road residence on April 26, 2018. Deputies responding to a reported break-in found Clark dead inside the home.

A 17-year-old, Deiontra Taylor, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and larceny of a firearm; the arrest warrant alleges Taylor stole Clark’s .40-caliber Smith & Wesson during the break-in. Investigators say Taylor told them the two had met through a social media site and arranged to meet at Lakeview Elementary, suggesting some prior acquaintance.

Family members describe Clark as kind and compassionate and say they are determined to seek justice while grieving his loss. Does anyone have information about Clark’s movements that night or about contacts arranged through social media in that area?
