John Bailey Clark, 74, of Morganton, North Carolina, was shot and killed in his home on December 19, 2014, while he slept in his bedroom. Clark was born June 4, 1940, in Wise County, Virginia.

Court filings state the shooter was 21-year-old Justin Nojan Sullivan. Prosecutors say Sullivan took a rifle from his father’s gun cabinet and stole Clark’s money to fund an ISIS-inspired terror plot and planned to film the killing for distribution on terrorist sites. Sullivan admitted the killing in court and faced a first-degree murder charge; Burke County prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty.

Sullivan’s case was tied to a separate terrorism prosecution stemming from his plotting. If anyone knew John Clark or has information about the night of December 19, 2014, please come forward.
